🚧 This is still a work in progress!!! 🚧
A simple star catalog parser and primitive types for star coordinates and astronomical times.
Note: currently supports the Yale Bright Stars Catalog, the Hipparcos Catalog, and the Open Source Bright Star Catalog. Run the
get_data.shscript to fetch the catalogs.
- Open Source Bright Star Catalog documentation is a very good summary of typical astronomical data and the challenges working with it.
- Constellation lines based on star ID (OSBSC)
- Long Term Precession and nutation algorithms
