A few days ago, I discovered the NASA Horizons API, it's amazing! It provides a lot of information about celestial bodies (properties, positions, etc.) for free. I'm sharing an article where I explain how I've used this API to create a website where you can see the 3D positions of the planets in the solar system on a specific date. Interested in seeing how the planets were positioned when you were born? You'll find the website in the article to find out!
In this article, we’ll explain and implement code on algorithms to find the optimal solution and also some approximations. We are going to use cSharp and the code will result in a plugin for AutoCAD, which provides a very friendly GUI.
