✨ NAME ✨

Astro::Montenbruck::Ephemeris::Planet::Moon — Moon. That's it, that's the name, bestie. 💅

🫶 SYNOPSIS 🫶

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

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

This is a child class of Astro::Montenbruck::Ephemeris::Planet, and its whole main-character job is calculating the Moon’s position for the mean equinox of date. 🌸

The formulae are based on the analytical theory by E.E.Brown (Improved Lunar Ephemeris), with accuracy of approx. 1 arc-second. Obsessed with the precision, honestly. ✨

🔥 METHODS 🔥

🌙 Astro::Montenbruck::Ephemeris::Planet::Moon->new

Constructor. It makes the object, periodt. 💅

🧚 $self->moonpos($t)

Geocentric ecliptic coordinates of the Moon. The coordinates are referred to the mean equinox od date (yes, od, we're keeping the original spelling, bestie 🙈).

Arguments

• $t — time in Julian centuries since J2000: "(JD-2451545.0)/36525.0"

Returns

Hash of geocentric ecliptical coordinates.

• x — geocentric longitude, arc-degrees
• y — geocentric latitude, arc-degrees
• z — distance from Earth, AU
