Workflow Playbook
Convert celestial coordinates, lock the observation time scale, and solve orbital or sky-position questions with explicit precision limits.
Hubs
This workflow is for astronomers, students, educators, and astrophotographers who need a practical answer about where something is or how to express that position. State the coordinate system, epoch, time scale, observation time, and precision target before you start.
Normalize the coordinates, convert the date to Julian day, and then solve the orbit or sky-position step that matches the question. The output is useful when it can be traced back to one named frame and one named time reference.
Accept the result only when the frame, time system, and tolerance are explicit and the numbers are consistent. If the source data are too coarse, the workflow should say so instead of pretending to be observatory-grade precision.
Workflow playbook
Convert sexagesimal or decimal inputs into the requested celestial frame, then keep the original values for comparison.
Convert the observation date to Julian day and record the exact time reference before any orbital calculation.
Compute orbital state or current sky position with the named time reference, then compare the result against the stated precision limit and known epoch.
Use `galactic-coordinate-converter` for equatorial, galactic, or supergalactic frame translation; use `kepler-orbit-solver` when you need anomaly, radius, or speed from orbital elements.
