PyEphem 3.7.2.3 (Default)

Section: Unix

Updated: Wed, Jan 9th 2008 04:04 UTC (9 months, 2 days ago)

About:
PyEphem provides scientific-grade astronomical computations for the Python programming language. Given an arbitrary date and location on Earth, it can compute the positions of the sun, moon, and planets as well as any asteroids, comets, or earth satellites whose orbital elements the user can provide. There are additional functions for computing the angular separation between two objects in the sky, determining the constellation in which an object lies, and finding the times at which an object rises, transits, and sets on a particular day.

Release focus: Major feature enhancements

Changes:
The user can now easily convert positions in the sky between equatorial, ecliptic, and galactic coordinates. Also, functions now exist to search for all four equinoxes and solstices of the year. Finally, constants have been added with which the popular epochs B1900, B1950, and J2000 can now be easily referenced by name.
