PyEphem provides scientific-grade astronomical computations for the Python
|
|
programming language. Given a date and location on the Earth's surface, it can
|
|
compute the positions of the Sun and Moon, of the planets and their moons, and
|
|
of any asteroids, comets, or earth satellites whose orbital elements the user
|
|
can provide. Additional functions are provided to compute the angular
|
|
separation between two objects in the sky, to determine the constellation in
|
|
which an object lies, and to find the times at which an object rises, transits,
|
|
and sets on a particular day.
