Solar System Objects Alignment Calculator Given Date & Time
By inserting (or see API below) date and time in UTC format (or other) the calculator would return results regarding the alignment of 3 or more solar system objects. The more objects the better (not just main planets & moons & sun, but also nano planets, planets' moons & comets).
Personally, I would like the result to be given in table format for example with a value of 1 in each planet(solar system object) column if the object is aligned with another two or more objects. A solar system visual would be nice for other users showing alignments plotted on graphic.
"API":
Each URL would be generated separately from the date & time code (e.g. solarsystemalignmentcalc.org/1904-12-31-100007/#/UTC) giving chance to users to query numerous dates via crawler/bot.
Example:
Date & Time: 1904-12-31 10:00:07 UTC,
1) Earth was in alignment with Jupiter & Uranus
2) Earth was in alignment with Pluto & Saturn
3) Venus was in near alignment with Mercury and the Sun
Explanation of score:
In the above scenario,
Jupiter, Uranus, Pluto & Saturn would return a value of 1.
Earth would return a value of 2.
Venus, Mercury & the Sun would all return values of 0.5 (even if Mercury & Sun were perfectly aligned)
All the other non-aligned solar system objects would return 0.
Results table:
Solar system objects return value would be displayed both horizontally and vertically with a blank space diagonally where each object overlaps itself. (i.e. Earth with Earth, Moon with Moon etc..)
Total value = sum of all above returned values would be inserted into the blank space in the table (upper-left).
