Ephemeris
In astronomy and celestial navigation, an ephemeris (plural: ephemerides; from Latin ephemeris, "diary", from Greek ἐφημερίς, ephēmeris, "diary, calendar") gives the positions of naturally occurring astronomical objects as well as artificial satellites in the sky at a given time or times. Historically, positions were given as printed tables of values, given at regular intervals of date and time. Modern ephemerides are often computed electronically from mathematical models of the motion of astronomical objects and the Earth. Even though the calculation of these tables was one of the first applications of mechanical computers, printed ephemerides are still produced, as they are useful when computational devices are not available.
The astronomical position calculated from an ephemeris is given in the spherical polar coordinate system of right ascension and declination. Some of the astronomical phenomena of interest to astronomers are eclipses, apparent retrograde motion/planetary stations, planetary ingresses, sidereal time, positions for the mean and true nodes of the moon, the phases of the Moon, and the positions of minor celestial bodies such as Chiron.

Efemeris
by: Children WithinIf you leave this world
With your precious pearl
For a journey to the oldest oceans
You will find the essence of life
Transmission to the other side
You will take your soulmate on a special ride
The ride of the lifetime
You will ascend
When you leave this world
Sounds will be unheard
And you senses sharpen in the wind
The wind blows where the spirits go
The rain falls where the spirits cry
The wind blows where the spirits go
The wind blows where the spirits go
The rain falls where the spirits cry
The wind blows where the spirits go
Transmission from another place
Caught up in Alabama lost in space
The space with no time left
You will descend
When you leave this world
Sounds will be unheard
And you senses sharpen in the wind
The wind blows where the spirits go
The rain falls where the spirits cry
The wind blows where the spirits go
The wind blows where the spirits go
The rain falls where the spirits cry
