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.
