  +--astro.data.ephemerides.CelestialComputer

public class CelestialComputer

extends java.lang.Object

This class has been written after the work of:

• Jean Meuus - Astronomic Algorithms
• Henning Umland - http://www.celnav.de/index.htm

This class actually doesn't do anything else than what Henning Umland very appropriatly provided in JavaScript. The constructor is actually triggering the calculation process, finishing with the setData() method, that populates a JavaBean containing the result of the calculation, ready to be displayed or reused. We provide as examples two ways to call this class.
