Remarks
Introduced in April 2014 as an alternative to JulianDateTT. Only one of JulianDateTT or JulianDateUTC needs to be set. Use whichever is more readily available, there is no
need to set both values. Transform will use the last set value of either JulianDateTT or JulianDateUTC as the basis for its calculations.
