QUESTION
So I am trying to get average lengths of the four seasons in the 21st century using PowerShell as a self-imposed programming challenge, my idea is to convert from string to array of pscustomobject, then for loop through the array using index, in each iteration, add year to the dates with the same index and convert the dates to [datetime] and add to another array, then loop through the second array using index and get season length using new-timespan and add to a third array, and measure-object third array, forgive me if this may sound confusing in English but it really is very simple in code.
Now I get the dates of equinoxes and solstices from here:Solstices and Equinoxes: 2001 to 2100
Using Notepad++ to format the dates I got this:

Answered 2020-Dec-06 at 15:11For the template issue, it appears that you have only one sample value (Jun 21
) for the junsols
column, if you update that, you will see that it works just fine.
In general, I would recommend the following template to cover all the dates:

I'm coding this for my class but I cannot figure out how to split using range.
find spell_list length
use range() to iterate each half of spell_list
label & print the first and second halves
spell_list = ["Tuesday", "Wednesday", "February", "November", "Annual", "Calendar", "Solstice"]
...ANSWER
Answered 2020-Nov-09 at 18:10if you want to iterate over the half of the list you can use range(len(list)//2)
where len(list)//2
is half of the items in list

So I am trying to do a seasons homework in Python by putting the Seasons and Solstice Dates in for it, but when I run it, I keep getting "Invalid" when I try putting the month and the day in. Here is my code for reference:
...ANSWER
Answered 2020-Jun-05 at 00:27You are comparing a string to a tuple, it will always be false. Instead you have to check if the month is inside the tuple, so use in
instead of ==
in the first part.

QUESTION
I am experiencing unexpected behaviour with the php
function array_merge_recursive
. Any advice or work-around would be appreciated.
The problem is with unexpected replacement of string keys with numeric key during the array_merge_recursive
.
Details:
I have three associative arrays ($birthdays,$custom,$natHolidays
), to which these values are programmatically added:
ANSWER
Answered 2020-Feb-20 at 16:45PHP is loosely typed, and it is casting your array keys.
You could use integer as keys to avoid the cast:

Answered 2019-Dec-03 at 14:45The issue is that lists can't be keys in a set - as they are mutable. You can fix this by converting each list to a tuple, and using the tuples as the keys of the sets. The rest of the code you have posted will work as expected with the below solution.

QUESTION
I am looking to calculate the highest precision lat lon for the subsolar point, in a particular datetime moment, as is reasonably possible using pyephem, with the help of some other library(s) if they are needed.
Relevant context: Anyone who has used pyephem, already knows that for certain calculations it requires certain setup values before computing body positions, those values including the datetime (epoch of the observation), the location of the observer, and of course, the body being investigated. Solutions for the subsolar point through the use of pyephem, that I have found online, show the time in utc as the time needed for the pyephem setup.
Remembering way back to my first exposure to astronomy, and to celestial navigation, utc is a variant of a mean day, compared to an actual solar day, where an actual solar day's duration throughout the year varies due to several factors of the nature of the earth's orbit. Because the length of an actual solar day varies throughout the year, for certain types of astronomical calculations, this requires the Equation of Time to more precisely map the actual solar day measurements to a mean and fixed 24 hour day system such as utc. Before the advent of sufficiently accurate 'pendulum movement' clock mechanisms, and now crystal controlled clock mechanisms, going back to when sundials were the accurate timepiece, the more sophisticated sundials included markings to apply a yearly approximation of this important Equation of Time, soon after it had been observed and definitively documented. Therefore, relevant to my question, since utc is a variant of mean day, and not the true solar day, but normalized to 24 hours exactly, there is this question now of how or if pyephem incorporates the Equation of Time in its right ascension solutions for the sun. At present, I imagine the EoT is required for accuracy, as I try to visualize the sun's position against the background of stars, as seen from the earth, as the earth revolves around the sun, with historically observed variations that are made available and useful and essential with the Equation of Time.
Summary then of my question:
If it is not necessary to explicitly enter an EoT value in pyephem, because it is not relevant for computing the most accurate subsolar point, please explain why. If it is relevant, as I presently think it is, please tell me if pyephem, in its right acension calculation of the sun (and other bodies), as a body, does in fact, apply the Equation of Time as appropriate. Does it do so transparently? Is there a way to input an explicit value for it, if such is known, an EoT value that might be more accurate or more up to date compared to what pyephem is using transparently?
Some initial research results that formed the question: Upon doing a search through various search engines, I found several posts in topical forums that give what seems a very simple answer for finding the subsolar point. Finding the lattitude apears to be the less complicated part of the solution, being simply the computed declination. Finding the longitude is where the question arose in my thinking, and now I wonder if it is applicable for the declination as well, since using the properly precise time is essential for the most precise result of both declination(lat) and longitude of the subsolar point. I always applied the EoT from the Nautical Almanac, back when I was involved with celestial navigation.
Two links, specific to pyephem, present the same approach to the subsolar point solution. When the question(s) was first asked, Brandon Rhodes quickly presented the single line formula using pyephem's computing of the sun's right ascension. His was specifically the code for the longitude calculation in a more theoretical tone, without all the pyephem contextual details. Liam Kennedy presented a more complete context of python code, showing those additional pyephem details, so that one could 'copy and paste' the entire block of code, (needing only to add the import ephem and import datetime), and modify it as appropriate, which I also found to be a useful review. The code is from these links...

...ANSWER
Answered 2019-Dec-23 at 14:43I think that your question, stated more briefly, is: does the libastro
library that underlies PyEphem assume that the Earth’s orbit is a circle along which the Earth travels at a uniform rate? Because if it assumes a circular orbit and uniform rate for the Earth, then a correction — the Equation of Time — would need to appear for the fact that the Earth in fact varies its speed along its orbit.
I suggest that you can answer this question for yourself experimentally. If PyEphem assumes uniform circular motion for the Earth, then the number of degrees traveled by the Sun each day will be the same. Try looping over a long series of days. For the same time each day, ask the Sun for its right ascension and declination, and then use separation()
to check the angle traveled between those points.
If the angle traveled by the Sun is the same each day, then PyEphem is modeling the Sun’s motion very poorly and you will need to apply an Equation of Time correction to get its true position.
But if the daily angle is varying — small in July, large in January — then PyEphem must be modeling the Earth’s motion more accurately. If you dig into the source code, you will find that its model is called the VSOP87 model of predicting where the Earth and Sun are. Your own experiments should show how the model behaves as the Sun travels the sky through the year.
