CLI: `python …/ephemeris_hub.py compare --datetime … --lat … --lon …` (add `--no-horizons` for air-gapped). From the chart script: `celestial_chart_pipeline.py … --compare-horizons` attaches the same Horizons cross-check to the chart JSON. Horizons typically uses **DE441** in the API header; expect small signed residuals vs DE421, largest for outer planets / barycenter wording. --- ## On-disk data inventory (vault tree) | Path (under `32_Project_HomeWorlds/`) | Role | In git? | |---------------------------------------|------|--------| | `data/pantheon_plus.dat` | Pantheon+ table for `run_tests.py` | Often yes / large | | `data/vast_catalog/` | VAST `.dat` / `.txt` void files | Often gitignored | | `data/*_v*.json` | Instrument / scanner / negative-space outputs | Mixed | | `data/ephemeris_skyfield/` | Auto-downloaded DE421 for portable chart tier | **gitignored** (see `.gitignore`) | | `data/astrology_runs/` | Optional JSON/Markdown chart exports | **gitignored** | | `tests/fixtures/golden_portable_charts.json` | DE421 tropical longitudes + signs for pytest | **yes** (small) | | `schemas/` | Versioned JSON examples + README for observation atlas | **yes** | Tests that need large files use **markers** (`@pytest.mark.requires_data`) and are skipped in CI unless `HOMEWORLDS_TEST_DATA=1`. --- ## Software stack (Python) | Component | Role | Install | |-----------|------|---------| | NumPy / SciPy / Matplotlib | Core numerics + plots | [public/requirements.txt](public/requirements.txt) | | **pyswisseph** | Swiss Ephemeris full chart tier | [public/requirements-astrology.txt](public/requirements-astrology.txt) | | **Skyfield + jplephem** | DE421 portable chart tier | [public/requirements-astrology-portable.txt](public/requirements-astrology-portable.txt) | | **pytest** | Test runner | [requirements-dev.txt](requirements-dev.txt) | | **ephemeris_hub** (stdlib `urllib`) | Horizons + portable (+ optional Swiss) in one bundle | [scripts/ephemeris_hub.py](scripts/ephemeris_hub.py) | --- ## Key literature (cosmology lane — pointers) | Topic | Entry | |-------|--------| | VAST / voids SDSS DR7 | Douglass et al.;
