NASA/JPL HORIZONS LUNAR EPHEMERIS WITH 30-DAY COOKIE. FOR TOPOCENTRIC
PERSPECTIVE TAKING INTO ACCOUNT GEOGRAPHIC LOCATION AND TIME ZONE.
The computations are performed by the NASA/JPL Horizons API server
located at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) campus in Pasadena,
California, USA. (4800 Oak Grove Drive, Pasadena, CA 91109, USA).
AUTHOR : Jay Tanner - 2026
LANGUAGE : PHP v8.2.12
LICENSE : Public Domain
NOTES:
[1] Quantity #2 is used for apparent topocentric RA and Declination and
takes your GPS location coordinates and time zone into account.
[2] The default location coordinates are for my town - Geneva, NY, USA.
These default values can be easily changed in the source code and
customized for personal home-based usage.
[3] The program can run on a local PC or a hosted PHP-enabled web site
with an Internet connection via any standard web browser.
This is just a basic demo ephemeris to demonstrate how it can be done.
