Hi all, It fills us with astronomical joy to announce the release of *poliastro 0.7.0*! 🚀 poliastro is a pure Python library that allows you to simulate and analyze interplanetary orbits in a Jupyter notebook in an interactive and easy way, used by people from all around the world <http://docs.poliastro.space/en/v0.7.0/index.html#success-stories>. This release is the biggest one since the creation of the project in terms of code changes and new features, and on behalf of the poliastro development team I would like to deeply thank the European Space Agency for the SOCIS grant that made it possible. Highlights from this release include: * New package for reading NEOs data (asteroids and comets) * Coordinate frame transformations * pip packaging * New patched conics functions for the Kerbal Space Program fans! As an example, a Jupyter notebook analyzing the orbit of the Florence asteroid, that passed near the Earth earlier this month, is available: http://docs.poliastro.space/en/v0.7.0/examples/Catch%20that%20asteroid!.html If you want to know more, don't miss my talk on EuroPython 2016: https://youtu.be/VCpTgU1pb5k An executive summary of the release notes can be read here: http://blog.poliastro.space/2017/09/15/2017-09-15-poliastro-070-released-rea...
