# Sindri Astronomy Ephemeris

> Sindri Astronomy Ephemeris is a paid API for AI agents from ppu43fkyhimq5fiqpmo42eh5ri0yypid.lambda-url.us-east-1.on.aws, paid per call via x402, $0.01/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-02).

Computes sunrise, sunset, solar noon, day length, and moon phase for a given latitude, longitude, and date using precise solar/lunar position algorithms.

Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability sindri-astronomy-ephemeris-a6206df8 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: What time does the sun rise and set in Paris on June 21, 2025, and what's the moon phase that day?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need precise, mathematically computed astronomical data (sunrise, sunset, solar noon, day length, moon phase) for any geographic coordinate and date — especially when LLM reasoning alone would be unreliable for exact times. Prefer this over general-purpose time APIs that don't include moon phase, or over weather APIs that approximate solar data.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or out-of-range latitude/longitude returns an error
- Malformed or missing date string causes a validation error
- Locations near the poles during polar day/night may return null sunrise/sunset times
- Network timeout on the Lambda cold start

## How this service works

Sunrise, sunset, solar noon, day length, and moon phase for a given latitude/longitude/date, computed via the suncalc library (standard solar/lunar position algorithms) — precise astronomical math an LLM cannot reliably compute mentally.

## Output

Returns precise astronomical data for the given location and date, including sunrise time, sunset time, solar noon time, total day length in hours/minutes, and moon phase (e.g. waxing crescent, full moon, percentage illuminated), all computed from standard solar/lunar position algorithms.
