The ephemeris was more accurately oriented onto the ICRF. DE405 covered 1600 to 2200 to full precision. This ephemeris was utilized in the Astronomical Almanac from 2003 until 2014. DE406 was released with DE405 in 1998. A Long Ephemeris, this was the condensed version of DE405, covering 3000 BC to AD 3000 with the same limitations as DE404.
Standish worked on the Jet Propulsion Laboratory Development Ephemeris.. Early versions refined the accuracy of these fundamental astronomical data-sets by including many recent and accurate observational data, new types of data, using improved data processing methods, including refined equations of motion which more accurately described the actual physics of the solar system.

The Astronomical Almanac [1] is an almanac published by the United Kingdom Hydrographic Office; it also includes data supplied by many scientists from around the world.On page vii, the listed major contributors to its various Sections are: H.M Nautical Almanac Office, United Kingdom Hydrographic Office; the Nautical Almanac Office, United States Naval Observatory; the Jet Propulsion Laboratory ...
Newcomb's Tables of the Sun (full title Tables of the Motion of the Earth on its Axis and Around the Sun) [a] is a work by the American astronomer and mathematician Simon Newcomb, published in volume VI of the serial publication Astronomical Papers Prepared for the Use of the American Ephemeris and Nautical Almanac.

The American Ephemeris and Nautical Almanac was published for the years 1855 to 1980, containing information necessary for astronomers, surveyors, and navigators. It was based on the original British publication, The Nautical Almanac and Astronomical Ephemeris, with which it merged to form The Astronomical Almanac, published from the year 1981 to the present.
The distance numbers no longer match the source. What’s more, we have a blatant example of false precision. Solex is a good program to check this, because each version will generate the ephemeris calibrated to two different JPL ephemerides. Comparing DE406 and DE421 gives a difference of 29,000 km. Horizons is yet different, and in between.
TT-UT1 2000+ ΔT vs. time from 1657 to 2022 [1] [2] In precise timekeeping, ΔT (Delta T, delta-T, deltaT, or DT) is a measure of the cumulative effect of the departure of the Earth's rotation period from the fixed-length day of International Atomic Time (86,400 seconds).
6 Hebe (/ ˈ h iː b iː /) is a large main-belt asteroid, containing around 0.5% of the mass of the belt.However, due to its apparently high bulk density (greater than that of the Moon), Hebe does not rank among the top twenty asteroids by volume.
