### BodyCode(name) -> astronomy.Body
|
||||
### BodyCode(name) ⇒ astronomy.Body
|
||||
Finds the Body enumeration value, given the name of a body.
|
||||
|
||||
Parameters
|
||||
----------
|
||||
name: str
|
||||
The common English name of a supported celestial body.
|
||||
|
||||
Returns
|
||||
-------
|
||||
Body
|
||||
If `name` is a valid body name, returns the enumeration
|
||||
value associated with that body.
|
||||
Otherwise, returns `Body.Invalid`.
|
||||
|
||||
Example
|
||||
-------
|
||||
|
||||
>>> astronomy.BodyCode('Mars')
|
||||
<Body.Mars: 3>
|
||||
>>> astronomy.BodyCode('Mars')
|
||||
<Body.Mars: 3>

### GeoMoon(time: astronomy.Time) -> astronomy.Vector
|
||||
### GeoMoon(time: astronomy.Time) ⇒ astronomy.Vector
|
||||
Calculates the geocentric position of the Moon at a given time.
|
||||
|
||||
Given a time of observation, calculates the Moon's position as a vector.
|
||||
The vector gives the location of the Moon's center relative to the Earth's center
|
||||
with x-, y-, and z-components measured in astronomical units.
|
||||
|
||||
This algorithm is based on Nautical Almanac Office's <i>Improved Lunar Ephemeris</i> of 1954,
|
||||
This algorithm is based on Nautical Almanac Office's *Improved Lunar Ephemeris* of 1954,
|
||||
which in turn derives from E. W. Brown's lunar theories from the early twentieth century.
|
||||
It is adapted from Turbo Pascal code from the book
|
||||
[Astronomy on the Personal Computer](https://www.springer.com/us/book/9783540672210)
|
||||
by Montenbruck and Pfleger.
|
||||
|
||||
Parameters
|
||||
----------
|
||||
time : Time
|
||||
The date and time for which to calculate the Moon's position.
|
||||
|
||||
Returns
|
||||
-------
|
||||
Vector
|
||||
The Moon's position as a vector in J2000 Cartesian equatorial coordinates.
