β¨ SYNOPSIS β¨
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. π
