SYNOPSIS

astronomer [options] [arguments]
(Non-standard; syntax unavailable in documentation)

DESCRIPTION

The astronomer command is not a built-in or standard utility in major Linux distributions like Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, or Arch. No man page exists for it in core repositories, and it does not appear in common package managers such as apt or yum/dnf.

It may refer to a custom or third-party script for astronomical computations, such as calculating positions of celestial bodies, ephemerides, or observer data. Alternatively, it could be confused with tools from astronomy software stacks.

For instance, Astronomer.io provides a cloud platform for data orchestration with Apache Airflow, and their CLI is named astro, which handles deployment and management tasks like astro dev start. However, there is no astronomer executable.

In open-source astronomy, command-line tools include pyephem (Python library for computations), astropy utilities, or scripts like those in the novas library for precise positions. If locally installed, astronomer might parse coordinates or generate star charts. Users seeking similar functionality should explore stellarium-cli or wcsim. Without specific package details, usage remains unclear. Verify installation with which astronomer or check custom PATH directories.

CAVEATS

Not present in standard Linux; may require custom installation or package from niche repos. Potential confusion with astro CLI from Astronomer platform.

ALTERNATIVES

Use astropy for computations: python -c "from astropy.coordinates import SkyCoord; print(SkyCoord.from_name('M31'))"
Or install astroquery for data retrieval.

HISTORY

No documented history; possibly a user-script or emerging tool post-2020 in data/Airflow ecosystems. Lacks POSIX standardization or GNU coreutils inclusion.
