Access to NASA's JPL HORIZON Ephemeris System
Project description
NASA's JPL HORIOZON Ephemeris System API
==================
This Python API, is an effort towards opening NASA's PDS data sets to the public with a focus on ease of access. Thus creating, NASA's JPL Horizons On-Line Ephemeris System API
Background
------------------------------
From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ephemeris:
```
For scientific uses, a modern planetary ephemeris comprises software that generates positions of planets and often of
their satellites, asteroids, or comets, at virtually any time desired by the user.
```
