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.

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...

Thread 'Our Beautiful Universe - Photos and Videos'

This thread is dedicated to the beauty and awesomeness of our Universe. If you feel like it, please share video clips and photos (or nice animations) of space and objects in space in this thread. Your posts, clips and photos may by all means include scientific information; that does not make it less beautiful to me (n.b. the posts must of course comply with the PF guidelines, i.e. regarding science, only mainstream science is allowed, fringe/pseudoscience is not allowed). n.b. I start this...
