Sky Culture

关于

Sky Culture provides a unified, 'Many-to-One' archaeoastronomy engine designed to streamline the translation of diverse cultural sky descriptions—such as Mayan, Chinese, or Babylonian—into exact NASA-grade J2000 coordinates and visualization data. Breaking away from bespoke simulations for each culture, this Python-powered microservice, leveraging Skyfield and NASA JPL DE421 ephemeris, acts as an interchangeable 'lens' for AI agents, abstracting complex orbital mechanics. It empowers agents to focus on cultural interpretation by handling the underlying physics, making comparative archaeoastronomy more efficient and accessible.

主要功能

• 0 GitHub stars
• Converts cultural celestial object names and historical dates (e.g., Mayan Long Count) into precise J2000 Right Ascension & Declination.
• Utilizes high-precision NASA JPL DE421 ephemeris, covering 1900 BC to 2050 AD.
• Provides a function to list available cultural contexts and their associated celestial objects.
• Built on Python and Skyfield for robust vector astrometry and Barycentric Dynamical Time (TDB) calculations.
• Implements the Model Context Protocol (MCP) to expose astronomical functions to Large Language Models (LLMs).

使用案例

• Cross-cultural verification of historical celestial events against modern scientific ephemerides.
• Simplifying the computational backend for archaeoastronomy research across multiple civilizations.
• Enabling AI agents to interpret and analyze ancient astronomical texts and observations.
