Detailed Description

Implements the four largest moons of Jupiter.

See Chapter 43 of "Astronomical Algorithms"by Jean Meeus for details

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ JupiterMoons()

JupiterMoons::JupiterMoons ( )

Constructor.

Assign the name of each moon, and initialize their XYZ positions to zero.

Definition at line 14 of file jupitermoons.cpp.

◆ ~JupiterMoons()

JupiterMoons::~JupiterMoons ( )
override

Destructor.

Delete moon objects.

Definition at line 29 of file jupitermoons.cpp.

Member Function Documentation

◆ findPosition()

void JupiterMoons::findPosition ( const KSNumbers * num,
const KSPlanetBase * jup,
const KSSun * sunptr )
overridevirtual

Find the positions of each Moon, relative to Jupiter.

We use an XYZ coordinate system, centered on Jupiter, where the X-axis corresponds to Jupiter's Equator, the Y-Axis is parallel to Jupiter's Poles, and the Z-axis points along the line joining the Earth and Jupiter. Once the XYZ positions are known, this function also computes the RA,Dec positions of each Moon, and sets the inFront bool variable to indicate whether the Moon is nearer to us than Jupiter or not (this information is used to determine whether the Moon should be drawn on top of Jupiter, or vice versa).

See "Astronomical Algorithms" bu Jean Meeus, Chapter 43.

Parameters
numpointer to the KSNumbers object describing the date/time at which to find the positions.
juppointer to the jupiter object
sunptrpointer to the Sun object

Implements PlanetMoons.
