A Query on Sun and Moon Coordinate data

AI Thread Summary
Complete ecliptic longitude and latitude data for the Sun and Moon is sought, with an emphasis on historical data spanning many years. The Sun's ecliptic latitude is always zero, but equatorial coordinates are also acceptable. A request for a link to observational data is made, specifically referencing the IAU Commission 4 at JPL. Participants are encouraged to provide resources or links to the requested data. The discussion focuses on obtaining accurate astronomical coordinates for research purposes.

Hello everyone, I was wondering where I could get complete ecliptic longitude/latitude data over the course of as many years as possible of the Sun and Moon. Of course, by definition the ecliptic latitude of the Sun would be zero.
The equatorial coordinates would be fine. Thank you for reading this.

Hey guys sorry just to clarify, can I please have a link to the observational data

Thread 'Potential biosignature found in Mars rock'

Publication: Redox-driven mineral and organic associations in Jezero Crater, Mars Article: NASA Says Mars Rover Discovered Potential Biosignature Last Year Press conference The ~100 authors don't find a good way this could have formed without life, but also can't rule it out. Now that they have shared their findings with the larger community someone else might find an explanation - or maybe it was actually made by life.

Thread 'Does it make sense to build new radio telescopes?'

TL;DR Summary: In 3 years, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope (or rather, a system of telescopes) should be put into operation. In case of failure to detect alien signals, it will further expand the radius of the so-called silence (or rather, radio silence) of the Universe. Is there any sense in this or is blissful ignorance better? In 3 years, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope (or rather, a system of telescopes) should be put into operation.

Thread 'Could gamma-ray bursts have an intragalactic origin?'

Thread 'Could gamma-ray bursts have an intragalactic origin?'

This is indirectly evidenced by a map of the distribution of gamma-ray bursts in the night sky, made in the form of an elongated globe. And also the weakening of gamma radiation by the disk and the center of the Milky Way, which leads to anisotropy in the possibilities of observing gamma-ray bursts. My line of reasoning is as follows: 1. Gamma radiation should be absorbed to some extent by dust and other components of the interstellar medium. As a result, with an extragalactic origin, fewer...
