JPLHorizons Lookup Object
Search for solar system objects in the JPL Horizons database by name, partial name, or designation. Returns a list of matching objects with their SPK IDs (used for ephemeris queries), object type (planet, asteroid, comet, spacecraft, satellite), and alternate names/designations. The SPK ID is needed to query ephemerides. Examples: 'Mars' returns planets, spacecraft, and missions; '2020 SO' returns near-Earth objects; 'Ceres' returns the dwarf planet.
