Use a JPL ephemeris to predict planet positions
Description
This package can load and use a Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) ephemeris for predicting the position and velocity of a planet or other Solar System body. It currently supports binary SPK files (extension ".bsp") like those distributed by the Jet Propulsion Laboratory that are: * Type 2 - positions stored as Chebyshev polynomials, with velocity
derived by computing their derivative.
* Type 3 - positions and velocities both stored explicitly as
Chebyshev polynomials.
* Type 9 - a series of discrete positions and velocities, with
separate timestamps that do not need to be equally spaced. Currently
there is only support for linear interpolation: for Type 9 ephemerides
of polynomial degree 1, not of any higher degrees.
Even if an ephemeris isn't one of the above types, it is still possible
to use jplephem to read its text comment and list the segments inside.Upload more screenshots
