The planetary hours are an ancient system in which one of the seven classical planets is given rulership over each day and various parts of the day. Developed in Hellenistic astrology , it has possible roots in older Babylonian astrology , and it is the origin of the names of the days of the week as used in English and numerous other languages.
H (number 8) means add 8 hours to the time mentioned in the display; Iϛ (number 16) means add 16 hours to the time mentioned in the display; Thus the dial pointer indicates how many hours must be added to the glyph times of the Saros dial in order to calculate the exact eclipse times.

Sample output from an astrology program. The table above the natal chart shows the birth time, location, and the positions of the planets in the signs and houses. The other table lists the aspects and their respective orbs. Astrology software is a type of computer programs designed to calculate astrological horoscopes. Many of them also ...
Planetarium software is application software that allows a user to simulate the celestial sphere at any time of day, especially at night, on a computer.Such applications can be as rudimentary as displaying a star chart or sky map for a specific time and location, or as complex as rendering photorealistic views of the sky.
The United States Naval Observatory states "the Equation of Time is the difference apparent solar time minus mean solar time", i.e. if the sun is ahead of the clock the sign is positive, and if the clock is ahead of the sun the sign is negative. [6] [7] The equation of time is shown in the upper graph above for a period of slightly more than a ...
The Beauvais astronomical clock in Beauvais Cathedral, constructed 1865–1868 by Auguste-Lucien Vérité, has 52 dials that display the times of sunrise, sunset, moonrise, moonset, the phases of the moon, the solstices, the position of the planets, the current time in 18 cities around the world, and the tidal hours.
The best time to see the planetary parade in January is during the first couple of hours after the Sun goes down, with Saturn and Venus appearing close to each other in the southwest, Jupiter high ...
Remember that a is still a function of time. The simplest way to solve these is just the Euler algorithm, which in essence is the linear addition described above. Limiting ourselves to 1 dimension only in some general computer language: a.old = gravitationfunction(x.old) x.new = x.old + v.old * dt v.new = v.old + a.old * dt
