In physics.py, the albedo (0.6) values is too high #9

According to https://nssdc.gsfc.nasa.gov/planetary/factsheet/marsfact.html:

Bond albedo = 0.250 Geometric albedo = 0.170

The project seems to be broken.

Investigate even if closed by texadactyl.

  1. The value for albedo in Mars Fact sheet differ from Leighton & Murray. NASA figures should be more up to date. Maybe support both values for validation?
  2. CO2 albedo has been updated in D. Singh and M. G. Flanner--An improved carbon dioxide snow spectral albedomodel: Application to Martian conditions. Once again support both--command line.]
