Contains functions for finding the Cartesian coordinates of the sun and the moon in the
Earth-centered inertial frame.
Methods
(static) computeMoonPositionInEarthInertialFrame(julianDateopt, resultopt) → {Cartesian3}
Computes the position of the Moon in the Earth-centered inertial frame
Parameters:
| Name | Type | Attributes | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
julianDate |
