   *JPL-DE431 ephemeris(covers epoch of date -13200-08-15 to 17191-03-15); 2.59 GB   
    binary: ftp://ssd.jpl.nasa.gov/pub/eph/planets/Linux/de431/lnxm13000p17000.431   
      
    e.g., link stellarium to the de431 ephemeris file by editing the "config.ini"   
    file located here: C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\Stellarium\config.ini   
      
   > [astro]   
   > ...   
   > de431_path    = C:\Program Files\Ciel\data\jpleph\lnxm13000p17000.431   
      
    ("cartes du ciel" also works great in windows https://ap-i.net/skychart/en/)   
      
    simply activate the de431 ephemeris in stellarium configuration panel [f2]   
      
    changing observer location to extraterrestrial vantage points (e.g. moons,   
    planets, asteroids, etc.,) [f6] is also lots of fun and educational, such   
    as watching the earth in orbit from the sun and moon, altogether in orbit   
      
    as viewed from the earth the sun appears to orbit the earth at an average   
    distance of about 93 million (~92,955,807) miles once every sidereal year   
    (~365.2564 days) . . . likewise, as viewed from the sun the earth appears   
    to orbit the sun at an average distance of about 93 million (~92,955,807)   
    miles once every sidereal year (~365.2564 days); parallax, bi-directional   
      
    also, the moon appears to orbit the earth at an average distance of about   
    two hundred thirty-nine thousand (~238,854) miles once per sidereal month   
    (27.321661 days) . . . as viewed from the moon the earth appears to orbit   
    the moon at an average distance of about two hundred thirty-nine thousand   
    (~238,854) miles once per sidereal month (27.321661 days); ditto parallax
