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 'Asteroid 2024 YR4 has a 1% risk of a multi-megaton impact in 2032 (now ruled out)'

Asteroid, Data - 1.2% risk of an impact on December 22, 2032. The estimated diameter is 55 m and an impact would likely release an energy of 8 megatons of TNT equivalent, although these numbers have a large uncertainty - it could also be 1 or 100 megatons. Currently the object has level 3 on the Torino scale, the second-highest ever (after Apophis) and only the third object to exceed level 1. Most likely it will miss, and if it hits then most likely it'll hit an ocean and be harmless, but...
