(1998)" by Jean Meeus. . There are great astronomical libraries out there. For instance, if you're looking for high precision and speed you should take a look at libnova. For a set of Python modules aimed at professional astronomers, you should look at Astropy. On the other hand, the advantages of PyMeeus are its simplicity, ease of use, ease of reading, ease of installation (it has the minimum amount of dependencies) and abundant documentation.
