#   Example Python program for Astronomy Engine:
#   https://github.com/cosinekitty/astronomy
#
#   Calculates the coordinates of Jupiter and its four major moons
#   (Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto) as seen from the Earth
#   at a given date and time. This program illustrates how to correct
#   for the delay caused by the time it takes for light to reach
#   the Earth from the Jupiter system.
