Additional functions are provided to compute the angular +separation between two objects in the sky, to determine the constellation in +which an object lies, and to find the times at which an object rises, transits, +and sets on a particular day. + +WWW: http://www.rhodesmill.org/brandon/projects/pyephem.html + +- Diane Bruce, VA3DB |
