You can access ephemeris information from the SPICE headers. For example, the keywords: | You can access ephemeris information from the SPICE headers. For example, the keywords: | ||
- | ''DSUN_AU'' - distance of the spacecraft from the Sun in AU\\ | + | DSUN\_AU - distance of the spacecraft from the Sun in AU\\ |

- | 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. | + | Users should make sure to correct the SPICE observing times for EAR\_TDEL in order to compare with observations from Earth-orbiting spacecraft.
