In f-silva-archaeo/skyscapeR: Data Analysis and Visualization for Skyscape Archaeology

Extreme declinations for five visible planets

Description

This function calculates the maximum and minimum declinations of the five visible planets for a given epoch. This is done by calculating the declination for one entire orbital period centred around the epoch.

Usage

planet.extremes(obj, epoch, loc = NULL)

Arguments

obj	The name of the planet.
epoch	Epoch for which to do calculations.
loc	(Optional) This can be either a skyscapeR.horizon object, or a vector with the latitude, longitude and elevation of the site, in this order.

Examples

planet.extremes('Jupiter', 2023)

planet.extremes('Venus', -4000)
