PROGRAM INFO: For the dates of Earth perihelion and aphelion, use Body ID = 10 for solar perigee and apogee, which equate to the same values. Sun Perigee = Earth Perihelion Sun Apogee = Earth Aphelion If Body ID = 399 = Earth, it will return an error. Asteroid (small bodies) should have a semicolon after the number ID. EXAMPLES: Body ID = 301 = Our Moon (Luna) = Planet #3, Moon #01 Body ID = 301; = Asteroid #301 = '301 Bavaria (A890 WA)' Body ID = 4; = Asteroid #4 = '4 Vesta (A807 FA)' Body ID = 123; = Asteroid #123 = '123 Brunhild (A872 OB)' Body ID = 1843; = Asteroid #1843 = '1843 Jarmila (1972 AB)' etc. ... TIME SCALES: There are three time scales available, TT, UT and local time as dictated by the local standard time zone offset from UT.
