Package Exports
- ephemeris-moshier
This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (ephemeris-moshier) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.
Readme
Javascript implementation of Moshier's ephemeris calculations for sun, planets, comets, asteroids and stars.
Initially written by mivion, I converted it into a node module. I publish the module as a starting point for others, too. Pull requests welcome!
Installation
npm install ephemeris-node
Usage
app.js
var ephemeris = require('ephemeris-moshier');
var result = ephemeris.getAllPlanets("10.08.2015 17:09:01", 10.0014, 53.5653, 0);
