Astro:...ercury(3pm)

πŸ“¦ version 1.26, in alpine 3.24

πŸ’… NAME

Astro::Montenbruck::Ephemeris::Planet::Mercury β€” it's Mercury, bestie. The planet. The one closest to the sun. That one. πŸͺβœ¨

Oh and also, hi, this is the Astro:...ercury man page, page 3pm, from the User Contributed Perl Documentation. Consider yourself briefed. πŸŽ€


✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

Okay so here's literally how you use it:

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

That last line? That's the good stuff β€” @geo is gonna hold the apparent geocentric ecliptical coordinates. Not to be dramatic but that's kind of iconic. 🌈


🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

So this class is a child class of Astro::Montenbruck::Ephemeris::Planet, and its whole entire personality β€” its main character energy, if you will β€” is calculating the position of Mercury. That's the job. That's what it does. Periodt. πŸ’«


πŸ¦‹ METHODS πŸ¦‹

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

The constructor. It constructs. It makes you a fresh new Mercury object. Slay. πŸ’…

$self->heliocentric($t)

Okay so for this one β€” the deets live over in Astro::Montenbruck::Ephemeris::Planet, so go read that description, iykyk. This is just the Mercury-flavored version. 🫢
