 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\\ 
-''​EAR_TDEL'' ​- light travel time from the spacecraft to Earth (seconds)+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"​. 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.+Users should make sure to correct the SPICE observing times for EAR\_TDEL ​in order to compare with observations from Earth-orbiting spacecraft.
