Converts a value of MJD in nanoseconds into MJD in days, and into a UT date/time string. See also mjdToUT and mjdSecondsToMJDandUT

Usage: 

au.mjdNanosecondsToMJDandUT(mjdnanosec, prec=6, delimiter='-')
  • prec: default=6=show to nearest second; change to 7 to show tenths of seconds, etc.
  • Caveat: only works for a scalar input value
