    """Ephemeris file in NASA .bsp format.

    A "Spacecraft and Planet Kernel" (SPK) file from NASA provides
    (x,y,z) coordinates for bodies in the Solar System like the Sun,
    planets, moons, and spacecraft.

    You can download a .bsp file yourself and use this class to open it,
    or use the Skyfield ``load()`` function to automatically download a
    popular ephemeris.  Once loaded, you can print this object to the
    screen to see a report on the segments that it includes:

    >>> planets = load('de421.bsp')
    >>> print(planets)
