+Astrognome was originally created by Jean-André Santoni, and was hosted on [Google Code](https://code.google.com/p/astrognome/).
 
 This project is now rewrote from scratch, using the [SWE-GLib](http://github.com/gergelypolonkai/swe-glib) library (which is actually a wrapper around [Swiss Ephemeris library](http://www.astro.com/swisseph/)). Several ideas come from the original project, and from others like [Placidus](http://placidus.hu/) and [Aquarius2Go](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.wilfinger.aquarius2go).
