lp:~stellarium/stellarium/gz_planetSpeed

Created by gzotti and last modified

A quick extension: planet velocities. We will need them for the final solution regarding aberration, but we can also display this in infostrings.

The CometOrbit used to have it already.
VSOP87 and DE43x and the outermoon_special functions had the relevant parts just commented away or had obvious fixes.

EllipticalOrbit does not have this information however. It may be acceptable to accept not having speeds for those objects for now.
Also our solution of ELP82 (Moon) does not seem to have it.

GUI changes for velocity display option. This also puts StelApp, StelGui and Mainview under StelProperty control. Also, Mouse Cursor hiding is back (still incomplete, though).

Added/fixed velocity display to Planets, MinorPlanets and Comets

9972. By gzotti

Enabled computation of planet velocities. Most of the ephemerides already came with it, but it was never exploited so far, and the respective lines were commented away. We can use this for information, but will especially need this for aberration correction. Note that velocity of the outer moons (EllipticalOrbit) and even our Moon (ELP82) is not available! (The latter is included with DE43x solutions.)
