Returns the location of a specific Planetary body, in the FK5 J2000 Coordinate System
The FK5 is an equatorial coordinate system (coordinate system linked to the Earth) based on its J2000 position. As any equatorial frame, the FK5-based follows the long-term Earth motion (precession).
The returned location is expressed in Astronomical Units (AU)
The returned Location and the Observer Body location are expressed in Astronomical Units (AU) The relativistic effects are considered (time taken for the light to reach the Observer body location) This function therefore returns the location of the Planetary Body as if it was seen from the Observer Body Location
