Further to my previous video Python, Bing Chat & Astronomy    • Video   I wanted to look at being able to use a python method to calculate a Kepler Planet Orbit andfound a script that will do that.

After finding the script I then wanted to look at planets in their orbit to look at the idea of a “launch window” fror a hypothetical rocket going between earth and Mars. So tried to use Ptyhon to draw planets in orbital motion to visualize the progression of the planets around the sun.

A bit of a play with some codes and I will park this exercise and move on to making a local e ephemeris for my location in Wellington NZ with Alt/Az coordinates.
I may come back to this project later, and enjoyed what I have done to date.
You can download all the code that was demonstrated in this video:

I hope this is of help to you, if so, can you please give a thumbs up for the video. Muchas Gracias Please visit my blog for similar topics: https://cr8ive.tk
