| PyEphem provides astronomical computations for the Python programming |
| language. Given a date and location on the Earth's surface, it can |
| compute the positions of the Sun and Moon, of the planets and their |
| moons, and of any asteroids, comets, or earth satellites whose orbital |
| elements the user can provide. 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. |
