NASA online ephemerides for 1.3 million celestial bodies, 100% based on Newton.

[Richard Hertz]

The JPL Horizons on-line ephemeris system provides access to solar system data and customizable production of accurate ephemerides for observers, mission-planners, researchers, and the public, by numerically characterizing the location, motion, and observability of solar system objects as a function of time, as seen from locations within the solar system.

Available objects include 1,229,000+ asteroids, 3822 comets, 211 natural satellites, all planets, the Sun, 202 spacecraft, and several dynamical points such as Earth-Sun L1, L2, L4, L5, Earth-Moon L1, L2, L4, L5 and planetary system barycenters. Ephemerides, lighting, and visibility for points on the surface of distant bodies may also be generated.

Over 2300 predefined Earth station locations (observatories) are available, from which to generate relative ephemerides. Users may define their own topocentric observing site coordinates on any planet or natural satellite having a known rotational model, if the desired site is not predefined.

All the data is based on Kepler/Newton, without a trace of relativity, and is
used freely by amateurs or researches to obtain ephemerides with resolution
from 1 minute, 1 hour or 1 day, covering a time span of 20,000 years.

Major resolution in time is available under request. Data can be downloaded
in different formats, coordinate centers and target bodies (like Mercury).

NOT A SINGLE MENTION OF RELATIVITY, IN PARTICULAR GR.

As this site, dedicated to the Solar System, is used worldwide and has
equivalents in ESA and Roscosmos, is valid to ask WHY GR is ignored,
if data provided has a resolution of 16 DECIMAL DIGITS for every parameter
of orbits of the 1.2+ million objects.

This site represents the value of TRUE SCIENCE, against the crap of GR.

From the technical report on that site:

Approximate Positions of the Planets

Lower accuracy formulae for planetary positions have a number of important applications when one doesn’t need the full accuracy of an integrated ephemeris. They are often used in observation scheduling, telescope pointing, and prediction of certain phenomena as well as in the planning and design of spacecraft missions.

Approximate positions of the planets may be found by using Keplerian formulae with their associated elements and rates. Such elements are not intended to represent any sort of mean; they are simply the result of being adjusted for a best fit. As such, it must be noted that the elements are not valid outside the given time-interval over which they were fit.

High precision ephemerides for the planets are available via the Horizons system.
.......
Formulae for using the Keplerian elements

Keplerian elements given in the tables below are

1. semi-major axis [au, au/century]
2. eccentricity
3. inclination [degrees, degrees/century]
4. mean longitude [degrees, degrees/century]
5. longitude of perihelion [degrees, degrees/century]
6. longitude of the ascending node [degrees, degrees/century]

***********************************************

This SIX Keplerian elements are the basis for the entire construction of the algorithms built in the Horizons software.

The formulae to generate them are based on the developments explained in the same page, and have been used for MORE THAN 200 YEARS!

QUOTE:
In order to obtain the coordinates of one of the planets at a given Julian ephemeris date, T_eph,

1) Compute the value of each of that planet's six elements:
2) Compute the argument of perihelion, w , and the mean anomaly, M.
3) Obtain the eccentric anomaly E, by recursion.
4) Compute the planet's heliocentric coordinates in its orbital plane, x', y', z'.
5) Compute the coordinates, (x_ecl, y_ecl, z_ecl) , in the J2000 ecliptic plane, with the x-axis aligned toward the equinox.
6) If desired, obtain the equatorial coordinates in the "ICRF" or "J2000 frame", (x_eq y_eq, z_eq)

I've used these formulae TO VERIFY Horizons data IN THE OSCULATING MODE (classic) and made its conversion to STATE VECTORS (position, velocity).

Then, I compared each result with the OUTPUT of the Horizons database for 3 orbital periods, with 1 hour resolution (more than 6,300 lines of data), in
the OSCULATING PARAMETERS mode. Then I compared equal amount of data in the STATE VECTORS mode, with a 100% match.

These parameters, generated by Keplerian/Newtonian math, are used by thousands of observatories (in high resolution mode) and hundred of thousand
amateurs and professional in almost every country of the world, as it's the most complete online ephemerides data resource that exist.

What you wrote about, which I couldn't find in the site, is probably an alternative source of information FOR RELATIVISTS.

NASA depends on JPL to obtain data for its projects, based on Kepler-Newton.

As you can see, not a trace of GR DERIVED PPN in the four types of outputs:

1. Observer Table
2. Vector Table
3. Osculating Orbital Elements
4. Small-Body SPK File


Why don't give it a try, and also make a fact-check? It's fun, but no GR/PPN ANYWHERE (sorry for that).

Dumbestfuck,

PPN is a parametrized form of GR, the same exact way as RMS and SME are parametrized forms of SR. Your ignorance is showing. Again.

[Ross Finlayson]

(I think that "parameterized" and "parametrized" are two different things that are often interchanged,
i.e. whether something has a parameter or is metrized.)

Didn't cost too much for me to find out from WHERE your BIASED post was quoting the first paragraph. As usual, for a DECEIVING RELATIVIST LIKE YOU,
you tried to pass the above info AS IF it was declared within the JPL Horizons website.

Your post is A LIE, A DECEPTIVE ATTEMPT to discredit my fact-based assertion that JPL Horizons is based ONLY on Kepler-Newton, which IS TRUE.

Your post IS FALSE. I don't understand why did you write such string of lies.

This is the PAPER from which your comment was extracted:

https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.3847/1538-3881/abd414

Go to section "3.1. Point-mass Acceleration" and your quote is there, exactly 100% equal.

But what you DON'T MENTION, which shows your true colors as a shill/troll, is that the paper:

"The JPL Planetary and Lunar Ephemerides DE440 and DE441"
Ryan S. Park, William M. Folkner, James G. Williams, and Dale H. Boggs
Published 2021 February 8 • © 2021 Published by The American Astronomical Society. "

is a work based on PPN, using keplerian data provided by NASA JPL, and is RESEARCH in applying linearized GR equations.

Why did you lie? I can't understand your motives. This is the final closure of the paper:

"The authors would like to thank A. Konopliv, R. Jacobson, J. Border, D. Jones, T. Morely, and F Budnik for providing some of the data used to compute DE440 and DE441. This research was carried out at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, California Institute of Technology, under a contract with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. Government sponsorship is acknowledged."

They are stating clearly that the paper provided a new calculation of ephemerides to replace DE430 (previous general-purpose ephemerides released in 2014).

Also, this work IS UNRELATED TO JPL Horizons database which, at any case, was the source of Keplerian/Newtonian data, which they used to compute
ephemerides by using PPN equations (linearized GR).

Do you understand, troll?

Your initial comment: "From the technical report on that site" is ABSOLUTELY FALSE. You lied in order to discredit the OP, but it turns out that
you discredited yourself, showing that you are a fucking liar and deceitful relativist, with a shill MO in order to twist the truth.

Nothing different from what many thousands of cretins did, before you, in the last 100 years.

You are a supporter of FAKE SCIENCE: RELATIVISM.

This is the basis of osculating orbital parameters for elliptical motion: A Keplerian-Newtonian model, as used by JPL Horizons database:

https://www.researchgate.net/figure/Major-parameters-of-an-elliptical-orbit_fig4_229022121

Periodically, JPL Horizons recompute basic parameters, based on thousands of observations made on Earth (optical, radioastronomy), and
by different observatories in orbit and specific satellites. It applies to most of the major bodies in the database. Example of curve fitting:

https://www.researchgate.net/figure/Observations-and-model-orbits-are-shown-for-two-representative-systems-from-those_fig1_372416658

Using equations perfected for 200 years, since Euler's rotations of reference planes, data is modified in almost real time.

This is an example of data on semi-major axis "a" and eccentricity "e" for Mercury, in an interval of 4 hours:

Julian Date.............................Date................................a (Km)..................... e
2460195,25000000 A.D. 2023-Sep-07 18: 57909248,74878 0,20563272552

The enormous amount of decimal digits is due to the results of elliptical curve fitting by using thousands of observations of different sources.

And this information, which is online, is generated by algorithms perfected for more than 20/25 years.

And yet, this information is "LOW RESOLUTION". If you want "HIGH RESOLUTION" you have to download binary files and use specific software, which is free.


Kepler-Newton RULES. GR is a fucking joke.

[Richard Hertz]

My mistake. I posted data that was not correctly classified. This is a real example:

One proof that JPL Horizons online database provides PURE Kepler-Newton data;

PERIHELION ADVANCE DURING THREE ORBITAL PERIODS IS PRACTICALLY ZERO ARCSECONDS.

DATA:

1) Mercury's orbital period: 87.96923544 days (average for 2,953 samples between 2023-Jul-10 00:00 and 2023-Nov-10 00:00)
2) Mercury's perihelion advance per orbit: 0.0000734570 arcsec/orbit.

3) GR prediction: 0.43 arcsec/year OR 0.103564055 arcsec/orbit.

As it can see, the value 2) (coming from NASA JPL Horizons database) implies that the shift of the perihelion/orbit is almost NULL. The
residual of 2), which is 1,400+ times lower than what was used in GR by 1915, demonstrates that orbits (Mercury's one in this case) are
PURE NEWTONIAN, as the advance of perihelion of Mercury/orbit is EXACTLY 360°, which shows a NULL PRECESSION.

0.43 arcsec/year is the DIFFERENCE between the Newtonan prediction and the measured value. You have put your foot in your mouth once again.

[Prokaryotic Capase Homolog]

Both Paul Andersen and I have demonstrated that Mercury's perihelion shift
is variable over time. The perihelion forwards and backwards depending on
the precise alignment of the other planets, only ON AVERAGE advancing.

If I remember correctly, Paul's results are somewhat better than mine, since
he used precise orbital elements, whereas I was more approximate in my
approach.

One way or another, your objections are just plain stupid.

[Ross Finlayson]

Alright then if I make it a word then I'll define it thusly.

Hey thanks Dr. Roberts, thanks for your time and your opinion.

I don't suppose you care to get into "pseudomomentum" then.


There are at least three definitions of mathematical continuity,
completeness or gaplessness of the real numbers, while most
people only have one, after all the formalism arising from axiomatic
set theory and descriptive set theory and the real numbers of a
continuum of real numbers. I.e. they were only provided one and
left off that there are others with their own suitable formalisms,
then that much later it makes for "Jordan measure" and "Dirichlet problem"
why in the derivations such things pretty much need be, but, unfortunately,
then they don't agree with their own earlier derivations. It seems sort of
the same when trying to resolve that "Relativity of Simultaneity is non-local",
space-time has magmas as it were, and with respect to anything its curvature,
it's a lattice and straight and flat.

About the ephemeris, there are lots of parameters. About the metrizing,
it's whatever solves the field equations.

It tooks a lot of time for "dark matter has hit six sigmas", then that also
"well it looks like MOND and not really inverse square" sort of adds up.

That theories of potential are somehow more true, it's a thing, about
fall gravity and asymptotic freedom and getting GR and QM back together.

So, the "metrized" and "metrizing" as of "ultra-filters" in mathematics
is its own thing, and sometimes they use "para-metrizing" particularly,
if on the mathematics side. Agreeably it should be left off as confusing.

I think that you are the plain stupid, because you didn't understand nor the topic of this thread neither my posts.

I don't care what you and Paul CALCULATED. I didn't calculate shit.

My data has been obtained from the JPL Horizons database, while I was studying the transformations between
osculating orbital elements (Keplerian) and State Vectors (3D position, 3D velocity) using the Sun center (not barycenter).
I did the above to understand ORBITAL MECHANICS as advanced amateurs and professionals do.

After I learned how to use the online database and the two sets of equations (Keplerian --> SV and SV ------> Keplerian),
I got curious about the second kind of transformation, which generated systematic errors.

Once I solved that problem, it occurred to me to verify if the heavy data that I accumulated certified that the database
was based PURELY on Kepler-Newton, which I confirmed.

I don't play with numbers and theories, in particular when I'm learning something.

Here is an extract of two samples that prove the Kepler-Newton basis of the JPL Horizons database.
You DO THE MATH, as you claim to be an expert (or Paul).

The KEY is the transition of the TRUE ANOMALY from 360° to 0°. That point is the PEAK of the perihelion, expressed in 3D.
You can use this pic as a reference.
https://ai-solutions.com/_freeflyeruniversityguide/orbit_orientation.htm

As I said, DO THE MATH. And if you don't understand the data, it's because you don't know shit about this topic.
Fact-check using the JPL Horizons for Mercury, on the period that I posted.
GOOD LUCK.

That is 123 days, so Mercury will pass perihelion maximum twice.
That means that the perihelion advance can only be measured
for one orbit.

> 2) Mercury's perihelion advance per orbit: 0.0000734570 arcsec/orbit.

The advance is measured for one particular orbit.
And as a wise person like you will know, will the advance
vary a lot from one orbit to the next.

I have simulated the Solar System.
The result for the perihelion advance of Mercury (the first 100 years):

https://paulba.no/SolarSystem/AdvanceOfMercury.pdf

You can see the advance for the first 24 orbits here:

https://paulba.no/SolarSystem/FirstAdvance.pdf

Note that the advance per orbit varies between +14.5" and -5.9,
and among these 24 orbits the smallest advance is 0.6".
So it isn't very remarkable that the advance may be very small
for some orbits.

The reason for the variation is that the pull from the other
planets will vary a lot depending on the distance to them,
particularly Venus and Jupiter.

You can't fail to understand this if you think, or can you?

If Mercury and the Sun were the only two bodies in the universe,
GR predicts that the perihelion advance of Mercury would be 42.98"/century.

See:

https://paulba.no/PerihelionAdvance.html

But both GR and NM predicts that the perihelion
advance of Mercury caused by the pull from the other
bodies (planets) in the solar system is 532.33"/century.

So NM predicts that the perihelion advance of Mercury should be
532.33"/century, while GR predicts 575.31"/centrury.

I don't have to tell you which of them is in
accordance with observations.

Good grief, Richard.
Are you really so naive that you think that there
is no advance of Mercury's perihelion? :-D

Your ignorance never cease to amaze.

It's rather remarkable what Richard can think.

Richard appears to have been at one time a competent
electrical engineer. What is is about retired electrical engineers
that leads them to the loss of all the critical faculties that they
must once upon a time have possessed?

Don't speak about "critical faculties", trash, The Shit
of your idiot guru is rejecting common sense and
basic [Euclidean] math, and wasn't even consistent.
