Project Scope

Currently under development, the Horos.me site is being designed as a real-time astrological clock based on the Vedic tradition. Integrating the JavaScript Sun Table Calculator by Juergen Giesen, Jan Tošovský's Horologium, astronomy.js by Don Cross, and the JPL API, custom scripts were written to perform some of the thousands of calculations that are done to produce as accurate as possible a Vedic Astrological Clock tracking rising and setting times for stars and planets on the sidereal scale.
