in thread calculating planet conjunction with mojo front end

Notice that we got different results. When I took Stellar Evolution...

Unlike the minuscule proper motion of stars, the planets constantly move relatively rapidly across the sky, so the coordinates will be different each time they are calculated.

#!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use warnings; use Time::Piece; use Astro::Coords; while () { system 'clear'; print qq/Planet\tRight Ascension\t\tDeclination\n/; for my $name (qw/Jupiter Saturn/) { my $planet = Astro::Coords->new(planet => $name); $planet->datetime(Time::Piece->new); my $ra = sprintf('%.12f', $planet->ra(format => 'deg')); my $dec = sprintf('%.12f', $planet->dec(format => 'deg')); print qq/$name\t$ra\t$dec\n/; } sleep 1 }
