The galsat() function returns numerical values of the satellites’ positions. x – the apparent rectangular coordinate of the satellite with respect to the center of Jupiter’s disk in the equatorial plane in the units of Jupiter’s equatorial radius; X is positive toward the west, y – the apparent rectangular coordinate of the satellite with respect to the center of Jupiter’s disk from the equatorial plane in the units of Jupiter’s equatorial radius; Y is positive toward the north. For more details see Meeus (1988, ISBN 0-943396-22-0) "Astronomical Formulae for Calculators". The galsat_animate() function creates an animation of the Galilean satellites' positions. You provide the starting time, duration, the time step between frames, and the pause between frames. The function delta_t() returns the value of delta-T in units of seconds.https://github.com/r-universe/lechjaszowski/actions/runs/26390676974Sat, 27 Sep 2025 07:35:20 GMTgalisats2.2.0successhttps://lechjaszowski.r-universe.devhttps://github.com/lechjaszowski/galilean_satellites
