I'm not sure exactly what you mean by astronomical calculations. However, if
you have computed that some star was formed three billion years ago on
exactly March 18th, at 2:29:17 GMT, and you need to know what day of the week
the star was formed on, I suppose you could write your own version of
Calendar to perform the needed computations.
