-====== Orbital Calculator 2.0.4 Release ====== 
-[{{ :blog:articles:info:hohmann.png?nolink&400|Hohmann transfer calculations for Earth to/from Mars migration}}] 
-Added three new calculations: 
-  - Distances between stars (using start-chart coordinates) 
-  - Apparent magnitude of stars from other stars 
-  - Hohmann Transfer Orbits 
  
-Hohmann transfer orbits allow migration from a lower to a higher orbit or vice-versa. When used for interplanetary travel, these are solar orbits, but this kind of orbit can be used to move satellites to a higher altitude (or bring them back to a lower one). 
- 
-The distances between stars is calculated from star-chart coordinates by first converting from the spherical coordinate system to a rectangular one. The apparent magnitude of the two stars (from each other) is calculated at the same time.
