This plugin displays data of interest to amateur astronomers. It is calculated from user-provided location and date information.
\nThe plugin is called from a WordPress shortcode, and the parameters are specified in the shortcode. The following parameters are
\nrequired, in any order:

lat : Lattitude of location in fractional degrees (e.g. 30.8910). Positive is north, negative is south of equator
long : Longitude of location in fractional degrees (e.g.-98.4265). Positive is east, negative is west of the UTC line
timezone : Timezone name, must be value recognized by PHP. See http://php.net/manual/en/timezones.php

These parameters are optional:

name : The name of the location to be calculated
days : The number of days of data to display. Must be a value from 1 to 10. Defaults to 3 if not specified.

Shortcode Examples:

stars-at-night name=Chennai lat=13.08 long=80.26 timezone=Asia/Kolkata days=1
stars-at-night name=”COE Observing Field” lat=30.891 long=-97.4265 timezone=America/Chicago days=10

You can also display the individual data tables via more specific shortcodes:

stars-at-night-sun-moon name=”Mount Kilimanjaro” lat=-2.55 long=37.55 timezone=Africa/Nairobi
stars-at-night-planets name=”Ushuaia” lat=-54.8 long=-68.33 timezone=America/Argentina/Ushuaia
stars-at-night-iss name=”Mount Burnett Observatory” lat=-37.9 long=145.4 timezone=Australia/Melbourne days=7

The output consists of simple HTML tables:

Sun/Moon table: The times for sunrise, sunset, moonrise, moonset, morning astronomical twilight, and evening astronomical twilight for the specified days (max 10 days).
Planets table: The times and visibility for the planets, for the current day.
ISS table: The times and directions for visible ISS passes over the specified days (max 10 days).
(REMOVED) Iridium flares table: The times and directions for visible Iridium flares over the specified days (max 7 days).

\n","faq":"\n

\nWhat does twilight mean?\n\n

The sky is fully dark starting about 90 minutes after sunset. This is the evening astronomical twilight time.
\nThe sky stays fully dark until about 90 minutes before sunrise. This is the morning astronomical twilight time.
\nThese times are important for observers because they indicate when faint deep sky objects can be seen

\nWhy is the reported sunrise/sunset a little different from (my favorite website)\n\n

Many PHP-based Sun calculators use an incorrect value for the zenith. This plugin uses the correct value.
\nSearch for ‘zenith’ in class-stars-at-night-manager.php for more information.

\nI would like a change made to the input, output format, or anything else\n\n

This plugin is driven by user requests. Just ask.

\nWhere did you get the planet and satellite data?\n\n

The Planet, ISS, and Iridium flare data is obtained by parsing the response to a GET request to http://www.heavens-above.com.

\nCan you provide more astronomical data and images?\n\n

More is coming. Stay tuned! If you have a specific request, let us know.

\n\n","changelog":"

1.9

Short codes to display a single table at a time.
\nRestore ISS table.

1.8.1

update change num

1.8

Use correct version number, fix readme

1.7.3

Fix tested version and tag (not released)

1.7.2

Disable ISS passes (heavens-above API has changed), remove Iridium flares display. (not released)

1.7.1

Fix version, tag. No code changes.

1.7

Removed planetary visibility row – it was too buggy

1.6

Fix planet and satellite requests to heavens-above.com, since the website does not accept daylight savings timezones.

1.5.1

Fix array initialization for PHP versions earlier than 5.4

1.5

Update lunar images for accuracy and fixed image select algorithm
Add table images for ISS, Iridium, and planet tables
Table rendering cleanup

1.4

Add planet table
More consistent look for table titles
Clarify required vs optional params in readme
Fixed potential Lunar image alignment
Include larger Lunar clickable images
Fixed satellite de-caching for fewer server hits

1.3

Add Lunar images to Sun/Moon table. 1 image per 3 rows.
Fixed Sun/Moon day increment.
Adapt to sparse or empty satellite cache.
Handle empty cache – maybe there are no visible satellites during that period.

1.2

Iridium flare visible passes table. Yay!
Cache satellite data locally to reduce load on remote server – other apps are QOS-filtered because of too many requests.
Replace start date with number of days. This was done because the satellite data is reported starting with the current day. Retrieving from an arbitrary start date is not practical.

1.1

ISS visible passes table for the next 10 days, starting on the specified day.

1.0.1

Readme.txt update. No functional changes.

1.0

Initial version.
Sunrise, sunset, moonrise, moonset, morning astronomical twilight, evening astronomical twilight
