Compute the angular distance between astronomical entities
ResourceFunction["AstroAngularDistance"][entity1,entity2] computes the current angular distance between entity1 and entity2. |
|
ResourceFunction["AstroAngularDistance"][entity1,entity2,date] computes the angular distance between entity1 and entity2 on the specified date. |
|
ResourceFunction["AstroAngularDistance"][entity1,entity2,{date1,date2,…,daten}] computes the angular distance between entity1 and entity2 on multiple dates. |
Compute the current angular distance between two objects:
In[1]:= |
![]() |
Out[1]= |
![]() |
In[2]:= |
![]() |
Out[2]= |
![]() |
Compute the angular distance between two objects on a specified date:
In[3]:= |
![]() |
Out[3]= |
![]() |
Compute the angular distance between two objects over a range of dates:
In[4]:= |
![]() |
Out[4]= |
![]() |
In[5]:= |
![]() |
Out[5]= |
![]() |
Entities can be in different domains:
In[6]:= |
![]() |
Out[6]= |
![]() |
The units returned by AstroAngularDistance can be chosen using the option TargetUnits:
In[7]:= |
![]() |
Out[7]= |
![]() |
Since angles are measures as viewed from Earth, Earth itself cannot be included as one of the entities:
In[8]:= |
![]() |
Out[8]= |
![]() |
