This source is modified version of xerik. Thank you for such a brilliant piece of work.
This is basically JavaScript implementation of Moshier's ephemeris calculations for sun, planets, comets, asteroids and stars.
Which, initially written by mivion, xerik converted it into a node module. This is a slight customized version with following changes:
- Changes the transit method to get standard sun/moon rise/set times as well as a custom horizon based
- Takes in JavaScript date object as opposed to a date time string
- Implements a method to just fetch in single planet as opposed to all of it
- Removes html, css bit to keep it focused to one task
- Reformats the code
And it changes bu me on
npm install ephemeris
- Released 29th September 2024
- Add zodiac sign
- Released 5th July 2020
- Removes dependency on Moment.js and uses JavaScript's default date object
- Fixes names of a few variables as there were typos (Thanks Erik for these changes)
- Released 30th June 2020
- updates test and fixes test
app.js
const ephemeris = require('ephemeris');
const dateObj = new Date('2015-08-10T17:09:01.000+08:00');
// parameters: ephemeris.getAllPlanets(dateObj, longitude, latitude, height);
var result = ephemeris.getAllPlanets(dateObj, 10.0014, 53.5653, 0);
