What Astronomy program would you recommend that can be used, for instance,
to predict the time of rising of Venus in Hawaii exactly 2 years from now or
the true ecliptic longitude and geocentric distance of the Sun at any given

own program. In that case which program would you recommend? May have to be
under Linux OS, from what I am reading. I know that 20 years ago most
computations were written in Basic (my speed). What are they using now? All
comments are welcomed and thanks.

Cordially,

If you have KDE have a quick nose at kstars which is included with it.
