Subject: | [Chicken-users] New egg for astronomical calculations |

This egg contains bindings to the libnova library which is "a general purpose, double precision, Celestial Mechanics, Astrometry and Astrodynamics library" available under the GNU LPGL. There is no documentation in the wiki yet, but I’ll work on that. Working on this egg has been a learning process. I’m sure there is much room for improvement. I started this with a limited use in mind: I wanted to see a map of how Pluto has traveled since its discovery. That map is here: https://i.redd.it/bx92vo8mey8y.png (The code to draw the map was done in scheme too). |
