Issues downloading planet data from nexsci #297

Closed rodluger closed 2 years ago

Something's wrong with the Nexsci extension:

https://github.com/rodluger/starry/runs/3874797131?check_suite_focus=true

I marked those tests as xfail for now, but I believe they are still broken (only on python 3.7, which I don't fully understand). Can you look into it?

Also, it would be useful to download the planet csv files to a folder in the user's home directory (like ~/.starry/). Downloading it to the installation directory (which it currently does) isn't a good idea since we can easily run into permissions issues.

The csv files shipped with starry can stay where they are; but if they are stale, the extension should download them to the home directory and favor those over the shipped ones.
