title: 'galisats: Configuration of Jupiter''s Four Largest Satellites'
version: 2.2.0
doi: 10.32614/CRAN.package.galisats
abstract: Calculate, plot and animate the configuration of Jupiter's four largest
  satellites (known as Galilean satellites) for a given date and time (UTC - Coordinated
  Universal Time). 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.
