Bases: astropy.coordinates.angles.Angle
An object that represents a right ascension angle.
This object can be created from a numeric value along with a unit. If the value specified is greater than “24”, then a unit of degrees is assumed. Bounds are fixed to [0,360] degrees.
Parameters: | angle : float, int, str, tuple
unit : UnitBase, str
|
