JPL Horizons
The JPL Horizons On-Line Ephemeris System provides easy access to key solar system data and flexible production of highly accurate ephemerides for solar system objects. This includes 170,000+ asteroids & comets, 128 natural satellites, 9 planets, the Sun, select spacecraft, and several dynamical points such as Earth-Sun L1, L2 and system barycenters.
