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

💖 NAME 💖

Astro::Montenbruck::Ephemeris::Planet::Sun — bestie, it's the Sun. That's it. That's the whole vibe. ☀️✨

---

🌈 SYNOPSIS 🌈

Okay so here's how you actually use it, no cap:

use Astro::Montenbruck::Ephemeris::Planet::Sun;
Astro::Montenbruck::NutEqu qw/mean2true/;

my $sun = Astro::Montenbruck::Ephemeris::Planet::Sun->new();
my ($l, $b, $r) = $sun->sunpos($t); # true geocentric ecliptical coordinates

my $nut_func = mean2true($t);
# apparent geocentric ecliptical coordinates
my ($lambda, $beta, $delta) = $sun->apparent($t, [$l, $b, $r], $nut_func);

Like, literally just make one and go off. 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So this is a child class of Astro::Montenbruck::Ephemeris::Planet, and its whole entire job — its main character energy, if you will — is calculating Sun position. That's the assignment and it ate. 🔥

---

🎀 METHODS 🎀

⭐ Astro::Montenbruck::Ephemeris::Planet::Sun->new

Constructor. Yep. That's the whole thing. Builds you a Sun object, iconic behaviour honestly. 🫶

⭐ $self->sunpos($t)

Gives you the ecliptic coordinates L, B, R (in deg and AU) of the Sun, referred to the mean equinox of date. Very demure, very mindful. ✨

🌸 Arguments

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

🌸 Returns

Array of geocentric ecliptical coordinates, in this order bestie, don't mix them up:

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