* N: longitude of the ascending node
* i: inclination to the ecliptic
* w: argument of perihelion
* a: semi-major axis, or mean distance from the sun
* e: eccenticity
* M: mean anomaly
* Each orbital element consists of a constant part and a variable part that
* gradually changes over time.

* Argumetns:
* the 13 arguments to the constructor constitute the first, constant
* ([NiwaeM]f) and the second variable ([NiwaeM]s) part of the orbital
* elements. The 13th argument is the current time. Note that the inclination
* is written with a capital (If, Is), because 'if' is a reserved word in the
* C/C++ programming language.
