How do I use AstroGraphics?

Let me check the documentation for you. One moment...

Used Documentation Lookup

To use

AstroGraphics

, you need to provide a list of graphics primitives and options. It is used to represent a two-dimensional view of space and the celestial sphere. For example, if you want to show a map of the current sky above your location with various celestial coordinate system planes (equatorial, ecliptic, galactic, and horizon), you can simply call

AstroGraphics[]

with no arguments.Here's how you can create a basic sky map:

AstroGraphics[]

To visualize the trajectory of a planet, such as Mars, over a specific time period, you can compute the positions for each week and then plot them. For instance, to see the trajectory of Mars from July 2022 to July 2023, you can use

AstroPosition

to obtain the positions and then plot them with

AstroGraphics

.Here's an example of how to compute and plot weekly positions of Mars:

mars=AstroPosition[Entity["Planet","Mars"],{"EventDate","EquatorialPosition"}]/@DateRange["1 Jul 2022","1 July 2023","Week"];AstroGraphics[{White,Point[mars]},AstroReferenceFrame->"Equatorial"]

This will show the trajectory of Mars, including any retrograde motion it may have experienced during that time.
