PyEphem provides an ephem Python package for performing high-precision |

programming language. Given a date and location on the Earth's surface, it can |

astronomy computations. The underlying numeric routines are coded in C |

compute the positions of the Sun and Moon, of the planets and their moons, and |

and are the same ones that drive the popular XEphem astronomy application, |

of any asteroids, comets, or earth satellites whose orbital elements the user |

whose author, Elwood Charles Downey, generously gave permission for their |

can provide. Additional functions are provided to compute the angular |

use in PyEphem. The name ephem is short for the word ephemeris, which is |

separation between two objects in the sky, to determine the constellation in |

the traditional term for a table giving the position of a planet, asteroid, |

which an object lies, and to find the times at which an object rises, transits, |
