5eca7d7760 CodeQL tweaks and fixes.
Updated CodeQL config to ignore source templates,
because they are not syntactically valid source code.
Ignore other stuff that is irrelevant to published
code quality.

Made various fixes based on helpful CodeQL analysis.

67d328cac2 Got Moon magnitude calculation matching JPL Horizons data.
Did this by retrofitting my calculations to match phase
curve extracted from JPL Horizons output.

c280c9334e Found Venus, Mercury magnitude formulas that match JPL Horizons.
I found a paper by James L Hilton (USNO) that provides
formulas for the phase curves of Mercury and Venus that match
the JPL Horizons tool within 0.012 mag.

cc7e27efef Removed Saturn from Jupyter Notebook plots.
JPL Horizons data does not include ring aspect for Saturn,
so don't bother plotting the Saturn data.
I already deleted the Saturn data so it's not there anymore.

bf415dc358 Removing Saturn data because it does not handle ring aspect.
The JPL Horizons data for Saturn says at the bottom of the file
that it does not include variations due to ring aspect.
Therefore, it is not suitable for my needs.

30e178b1a4 Starting Jupyter Notebook for analyzing magnitude data.
Now it can load JPL Horizons data files I created.

d542445deb Updated JPL Horizons magnitude test data to include helio distance.
I realized if I'm going to create regression models of planets,
it will be helpful to have known correct values of heliocentric
distance of the planet also. Will need to figure out what to do
for Saturn's rings.

eeb1482d37 Starting to implement visual magnitude calculations.
Not fully validated, but I did tweak Montenbruck/Pfleger
formulas to match JPL Horizons output for 2018-04-27 02:00 UTC.
Still need to implement formulas for Moon and Saturn.
