In astronomy and celestial navigation, an ephemeris gives the positions of astronomical objects in the sky at a given time or times. Ephemerides (plural for ephemeris) are used in celestial navigation, astronomy and astrology. An astrologer myself, ephemerides are necessary. It is a table giving the positions of one or more celestial bodies, often published with supplementary information. Ephemerides were constructed as early as the 4th century bc and are still essential today to the astronomer and navigator. An ephemeris is a reference book showing precisely when certain
celestial phenomena occur making it possible to accurate predict through
astrology. Over the years I have found myself growing to love the collection of ephemerides, and have a growing collection on my personal library shelves ... some a little more dusty than others. Recently I added three. Here are my thoughts ...
World Ephemeris for the 20th Century 1900 to 2000 at Noon, by Para Research
This World Ephemeris is computer calculated and typeset with letter-quality printing. The Sun’s position is accurate to the second of arc; the Moon’s mean Node and nine planetary positions are given to the minute of arc for every day of the 21st Century ... one hundred and one years in all. Within one volume, this ephemeris gives the longitudes of the Moon, Sun and planets once every twney-four hours. Precise and trustworthy, I recommend this ephemeris.
The Astrolabe World Ephmeris 2001-2050 at Midnight
The Astrolabe World Ephemeris has Longitudes and Declinations for the
Sun, Moon, Planets, Chiron and the
Asteroids. With accuracy and precision of data, it is easy to read and
use. I am especially fond of the preface ... with lots of helpful
information. Recommended!
