內容簡介
這個外掛會顯示對天文愛好者有興趣的數據，該數據是根據用戶提供的位置和日期信息計算得出。
這個外掛是透過 WordPress 短碼調用的，該短碼中指定了參數，以下是必要的參數，可以以任意順序給定：
lat: 十進制度數表示的位置緯度（例如 30.8910）。正數表示赤道以北，負數表示赤道以南
long: 十進制度數表示的位置經度（例如 -98.4265）。正數表示UTC（世界協調時間）以東，負數表示UTC以西
timezone: 時區名稱，必須是 PHP 能夠識別的值。請查看 http://php.net/manual/en/timezones.php
這些參數是可選的：
name: 要計算的位置的名稱
days: 要顯示的資料天數。必須是從 1 到 10 的數值。如果未指定，則預設值為 3。
短碼範例：
stars-at-night name=Chennai lat=13.08 long=80.26 timezone=Asia/Kolkata days=1
stars-at-night name=”COE Observing Field” lat=30.891 long=-97.4265 timezone=America/Chicago days=10
您還可以通過更具體的短碼顯示單個資料表：
stars-at-night-sun-moon name=”Mount Kilimanjaro” lat=-2.55 long=37.55 timezone=Africa/Nairobi
stars-at-night-planets name=”Ushuaia” lat=-54.8 long=-68.33 timezone=America/Argentina/Ushuaia
stars-at-night-iss name=”Mount Burnett Observatory” lat=-37.9 long=145.4 timezone=Australia/Melbourne days=7
輸出主要由簡單的 HTML 表格組成：
太陽/月亮表格：指定天數（最大 10 天）的日出、日落、月出、月落、清晨與黃昏的天文暮光時間。
行星表格：當天各行星的時間和可見性。
ISS 表格：指定天數（最大 10 天）可見 ISS 經過的時間和方向。
（已刪除）Iridium 亮度表：指定天數（最大 7 天）可見的 Iridium 亮度時間和方向。

原文外掛簡介
This plugin displays data of interest to amateur astronomers. It is calculated from user-provided location and date information.
The plugin is called from a WordPress shortcode, and the parameters are specified in the shortcode. The following parameters are
required, in any order:
lat : Lattitude of location in fractional degrees (e.g. 30.8910). Positive is north, negative is south of equator
long : Longitude of location in fractional degrees (e.g.-98.4265). Positive is east, negative is west of the UTC line
timezone : Timezone name, must be value recognized by PHP. See http://php.net/manual/en/timezones.php
These parameters are optional:
name : The name of the location to be calculated
days : The number of days of data to display. Must be a value from 1 to 10. Defaults to 3 if not specified.
Shortcode Examples:
stars-at-night name=Chennai lat=13.08 long=80.26 timezone=Asia/Kolkata days=1
stars-at-night name=”COE Observing Field” lat=30.891 long=-97.4265 timezone=America/Chicago days=10
You can also display the individual data tables via more specific shortcodes:
stars-at-night-sun-moon name=”Mount Kilimanjaro” lat=-2.55 long=37.55 timezone=Africa/Nairobi
stars-at-night-planets name=”Ushuaia” lat=-54.8 long=-68.33 timezone=America/Argentina/Ushuaia
stars-at-night-iss name=”Mount Burnett Observatory” lat=-37.9 long=145.4 timezone=Australia/Melbourne days=7
The output consists of simple HTML tables:
Sun/Moon table: The times for sunrise, sunset, moonrise, moonset, morning astronomical twilight, and evening astronomical twilight for the specified days (max 10 days).
Planets table: The times and visibility for the planets, for the current day.
ISS table: The times and directions for visible ISS passes over the specified days (max 10 days).
(REMOVED) Iridium flares table: The times and directions for visible Iridium flares over the specified days (max 7 days).
