getAngleBetweenTwoSatellites function added to satMath

Here is what I was looking for: Satellite in Sun Math: https://www.celestrak.com/columns/v03n01/ Angle Math in 3D: https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/find-all-angles-of-a-triangle-in-3d/ Dot Math in JS might be useful too: https://mathjs.org/docs/reference/functions/dot.html

Was able to calculate which satellites were in umbral and pneumbral using the information from Celestrak. Pneumbral calculations may be off due to incorrect earth position (converting from ECI to...

Sunlight added in d64200274db9b72adee5ef8e64a08c161ac5fcde. Still need to calculate brightness using an external database of visual magnitude.

double distanceToSatellite = 485; //This is in KM double phaseAngleDegrees = 113.1; //Angle from sun->satellite->observer double pa = phaseAngleDegrees * 0.0174533; //Convert the phase angle to radians double intrinsicMagnitude =...
