 ## Ephemeris files
 
-This library does not include any ephemeris files. To use the Swiss Ephemeris files, download them from [https://www.astro.com/ftp/swisseph/ephe/](https://www.astro.com/ftp/swisseph/ephe/) and call `set_ephe_path()` to point the library to the folder containing the ephemeris files.
+Ephemeris files are required to enable high precision calculations for planets and asteroids. This library does not include any ephemeris files by default, but you can download them from the official Swiss Ephemeris Github repository (main planets only) or the official Astrodienst Dropox folder (all files):

 Each main ephemeris file covers a range of 600 years starting from the century indicated in its name, for example the file `sepl_18.se1` is valid from year 1800 until year 2400. The following files are available:
 
-* sepl files - planets (AD)

+* long_ast - files for named asteroids (6000 years range)
+* jpl binary files - files for NASA's JPL ephemerides

-* longfiles folder - files for individual asteroids (6000 years)
-* jplfiles folder - files for NASA's JPL ephemerides
-* sat folder - files for planetary moons
+To use the files, download them, store them in some folder, then call `set_ephe_path()` to point the library to that folder. Asteroid files should be placed in `astxxx` subfolders, the same way they appear in the dropbox asteroids section. Files for planetary moons should be placed in a `sat` subfolder.

 * While worker_threads are supported, the underlying C library is single threaded and contains process-wide settings. Functions such as `set_ephe_path()` or `set_sid_mode()` will affect the entire process, including all worker_threads. While you can still use worker_threads as long as you don't change settings from other threads in the middle of calculations, true thread-safe multithreading can only be achieved using child_process.
