ephemeris
Celestial position table
An ephemeris is a table showing the predicted positions of celestial bodies at regular intervals—daily, weekly, or otherwise.
Astronomers and navigators use ephemerides to track planets, moons, and stars.
Astrologers consult them to cast horoscopes.
The plural is ephemerides, though ephemerides tables are sometimes called simply the ephemeris.
