# HYPATIA [![](https://img.shields.io/static/v1?label=Sponsor&message=%E2%9D%A4&logo=GitHub&color=%23fe8e86)](https://github.com/sponsors/patriciogonzalezvivo)

Hypatia is a geo-astronomical library based on the work of  [Jean Meeus](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean_Meeus), [Mark Huss](http://mhuss.com/AstroLib), [Bill Gray](https://github.com/Bill-Gray ), [Stuart Lowe](http://mhuss.com/AstroLib), [Brandon Rhodes](https://github.com/brandon-rhodes/pyephem) , [Daniel Warner](https://github.com/dnwrnr/sgp4), [Oliver Montenbruck and Thomas Peleger](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/3540672214/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1). Was created mostly for educational purposes, but also to use in different personal artistic projects. 

In comparison with other astronomical/geographical libraries created for profesional uses Hypatia have a focus on: 

* reusability and portability

* realtime performance

* simplicity of the interface, than other 

## Hypatia as C++ lib

You can easily add hypatia into your project by adding the `include/` and `src/` folder or by installing hypatia into your system. For the former option you need to:

```bash

sudo apt install cmake swig

mkdir build

cd build

cmake ..

make

sudo make install

```

```cpp

#include 

#include "hypatia/Body.h"

#include "hypatia/Luna.h"

#include "hypatia/Constellation.h"

void main(int argc, char **argv) {

    obs = Observer(40.781098831465, -73.97715657655);

    sun = Body(SUN);

    moon = Luna(LUNA);

    std::cout << "Moon's phase: " << moon.getPhase() << std::endl

    const = Constellation(moon)

    std::cout << "Moon's transit constelation: " << const.getName() << std::endl

    return 0;

}

```

## Hypatia as Python module

First you need to create the package and install it

```bash

sudo apt install swig

make install

```

**Note**: to install inside anaconda do:

```bash

/anaconda3/bin/./python3.7 setup.py install 

```

Then you can use it as follow:

```python

from hypatia import *

obs = Observer(40.781098831465, -73.97715657655)

sun = Body(SUN)

sun.compute(obs)

moon = Luna(LUNA)

moon.compute(obs)

print("Moon's phase: ", const.getPhase())

const = Constellation(moon)

print("Moon's transit constelation: ", const.getName())

```
