python package for lunar and solar information
Project description
lunastro
lunastro is a python library for lunar and solar information
Installation:
To install lunastro:
pip install lunastro
Functions
get_lunar_phase() # returns phase
get_lunar_age() # returns age of moon
get_lunar_age_percentage() # returns age percentage of moon
solardistance() # returns distance to the sun in miles
declination(galactic_latitude, galactic_longtitude) # solar declination
eclipticlongtitude(anomaly) # ecliptic longtitude
rightAscension(galactic_latitude, galactic_longtitude) # right Ascension
azimuth(hour_angle, latitude, declination) # azimuth
hourangle() # returns solar hour angle (approximate)
Astronomical Measurement:
lightyeardist_to_miles(lightyears)
miles_to_lightyeardist(miles)
miles_to_au(miles)
au_to_miles(au)
parsec_to_miles(parsec)
miles_to_parsec(miles)
Lunar Usage:
:
from lunation.main import myMoon
# create instance of myMoon
moon = myMoon()
# functions
phase = moon.get_lunar_phase() # returns lunar phase
age = moon.get_lunar_age() # returns lunar age
percent = moon.get_lunar_age_percent() # returns percent of lunar age as a decimal
The library can also be used to calculate distance from the sun
Solar Usage:
from lunation.sun import Sun
# instance of Sun
sun = Sun()
distance = sun.solardistance() # returns solar distance in miles
