Number generated by kheider using the Solar System Dynamics Group, Horizons On-Line Ephemeris System at:
http://ssd.jpl.nasa.gov/horizons.cgi?find_body=1&body_group=mb&sstr=599
Ephemeris Type: OBSERVER
Target Body: Jupiter [599]
Observer Location: Geocentric [500]
QUANTITIES=9,13,20,29 (apmag, ang-dia, range, constellation)


Key:
APmag S-brt = apparent visual magnitude & surface brightness
Ang-diam = equatorial angular width
delta  deldot =  A positive "deldot" means the target center is moving away from the observer.
A negative "deldot" means the target center is moving toward the observer.
Units: AU and KM/S
Cnst = Constellation ID


Perihelion:
Observer Location: Sun (body center) [500@10]

 Date__(UT)__HR:MN                delta      deldot
