Fetch data about planets to simulate their current positions [25 Jan 2017] #3

Open tvarnish opened 6 years ago

tvarnish commented 6 years ago

Add to generate commands the option to fetch the current ephemeris of the planets so that the solar system can be simulated from the current positions of the planets. Save this data into an "output" file, e.g. solarsystem.txt so that it can be accessed later / re-run.
