hypatie

A python package for querying NASA's Horizons API

Installation

You can install the latest version of hypatie from PyPI:

pip install hypatie

The only requirement is numpy.

How to use

Let's get the positions of the sun between two times:

import hypatie as hp

t1 = '2021-03-20 08:00:00'
t2 = '2021-03-20 10:00:00'

If you want the apparent RA and DEC of the Sun with respect to Earth (geocentric):

dates, positions = hp.get_position('obs', 'sun', t1, t2, step=100)

If you want the cartesian positions (x,y,z) of the Sun with respect to the barycenter of Solar System:

dates, positions = hp.get_position('vec', 'sun', t1, t2, step=100)
