"""Default ephemerides for calculating positions of Solar-System bodies.
This can be one of the following:
- 'builtin': polynomial approximations to the orbital elements.
- 'dexxx[s]', for a JPL dynamical model, where xxx is the three digit
version number (e.g. de430), and the 's' is optional to specify the
'small' version of a kernel. The version number must correspond to an
ephemeris file available at:
https://naif.jpl.nasa.gov/pub/naif/generic_kernels/spk/planets/
- 'jpl': Alias for the default JPL ephemeris (currently, 'de430').
- URL: (str) The url to a SPK ephemeris in SPICE binary (.bsp) format.
- PATH: (str) File path to a SPK ephemeris in SPICE binary (.bsp) format.
- `None`: Ensure an Exception is raised without an explicit ephemeris.
The default is 'builtin', which uses the ``epv00`` and ``plan94``
routines from the ``erfa`` implementation of the Standards Of Fundamental
Astronomy library.
Notes
-----
Any file required will be downloaded (and cached) when the state is set.
The default Satellite Planet Kernel (SPK) file from NASA JPL (de430) is
~120MB, and covers years ~1550-2650 CE [1]_. The smaller de432s file is
~10MB, and covers years 1950-2050 [2]_ (and similarly for the newer de440
and de440s). Older versions of the JPL ephemerides (such as the widely
used de200) can be used via their URL [3]_.
