pub fn heliocent_pos(JD: f64) -> (f64, f64, f64)

Computes the heliocentric coordinates of Pluto, referred to the standard equinox of J2000.0

This function is valid only for the years 1885 AD to 2099 AD.

Returns

(long, lat, rad_vec)

• long : Heliocentric longitude of Pluto | in radians
• lat : Heliocentric latitude of Pluto | in radians
• rad_vec: Heliocentric radius vector of Pluto | in AU

The error in

• long is less than 0.07 arcseconds
• lat is less than 0.02 arcseconds
• rad_vec is less than 0.000006 AU

Arguments

• JD: Julian (Ephemeris) day
