Get Moon Separation

AI-generated

Summary

Retrieve the moon phase and angular separation from the Moon for a specified celestial target using its Right Ascension (RA) and Declination (Dec) coordinates in decimal degrees.

Inputs

  • ra (required) — Target Right Ascension in decimal degrees.
  • dec (required) — Target Declination in decimal degrees.

Output shape

a JSON object containing the moon phase and the angular separation in degrees for the specified target coordinates

Returns a single JSON object with details about the moon phase and separation; errors are handled per item if 'continueOnFail' is enabled.

Examples

Example 1: Calculate moon separation for target at RA=120.5°, Dec=22.3°

Provide 'getMoonSeparation' as operation, and specify target coordinates under 'ra' and 'dec' inputs.
