 +===== Ephemeris information =====
 +
 +You can access ephemeris information from the SPICE headers. For example, the keywords:
 +
 +DSUN\_AU - distance of the spacecraft from the Sun in AU\\
 +EAR\_TDEL - light travel time from the spacecraft to Earth (seconds)
 +
 +The full list of keywords is given in the [[https://​spice.ias.u-psud.fr/​spice-data/​documents/​SPICE-UIO-DPDD-0002-1.4-Data_Product_Description_Document.pdf|DPDD]] - search for "Solar ephemeris keywords"​.
 +
 +Users should make sure to correct the SPICE observing times for EAR\_TDEL in order to compare with observations from Earth-orbiting spacecraft. This is especially important for highly-dynamic structures such as flares or CMEs.
