Astro:...t::Mars(3pm)

💫 NAME 💫

Okay bestie, gather round — this is Astro::Montenbruck::Ephemeris::Planet::Mars</p>, and it is literally just Mars. That's it. That's the whole name. Iconic, honestly.

Fun little aside: this page comes to you from the User Contributed Perl Documentation collection, and in the header it's styled as Astro:...t::Mars(3pm) — the terminal had to abbreviate the name because it's so long, which is giving "no thoughts, just vibes" 😭

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

Wanna use it? Say less. Here's the whole ritual:

use Astro::Montenbruck::Ephemeris::Planet::Mars;
my $planet = Astro::Montenbruck::Ephemeris::Planet::Mars->new();
my @geo = $planet->position($t); # apparent geocentric ecliptical coordinates

So you load it, you new() it, you ask it for a position($t) — and what comes back is your apparent geocentric ecliptical coordinates. Yes, that comment is doing heavy lifting and yes, we respect it 🫶

🪐 DESCRIPTION 🪐

So here's the tea: this class is a child class of Astro::Montenbruck::Ephemeris::Planet. Think of it as the main parent planet class, but make it Mars-flavored 💅

Its whole entire job — its ~purpose on this earth~ — is calculating Mars position. That's it. It's a specialist. It ate and left no crumbs.

🌸 METHODS 🌸

Astro::Montenbruck::Ephemeris::Planet::Mars->new

The Constructor. It's the "hi hello let's make an object" moment. Gotta start somewhere, bestie ✨

$self->heliocentric($t)

For the details on this one, the docs are like "go ask the parent" — so head over to Astro::Montenbruck::Ephemeris::Planet and read the description there. No cap, that's genuinely where the explanation lives 🦋
