[[Astronomical algorithm]]s are the [[algorithm]]s used to calculate [[ephemeris|ephemerides]], [[calendar]]s, and positions (as in [[celestial navigation]] or [[satellite navigation]]). Examples of large and complex [[astronomy|astronomical]] algorithms are those used to calculate the position of the [[Moon]]. A simple example is the [[Julian day#Calculation|calculation of the Julian day]].

[[Numerical model of Solar system]] discusses a generalized approach to local astronomical modeling, and presents an implementation in [[Fortran]] 77.
