#3393 — poliastro 0.14.0 released 🚀

Hi all,

It fills us with astronomical joy to announce the release of poliastro
0.14.0! 🚀

poliastro is a pure Python library that allows you to simulate and
analyze interplanetary orbits in an interactive and easy way. It is
used in academia and the industry by people from all around the world.
You can install it using pip or conda:

pip install poliastro
conda install poliastro --channel conda-forge

This release brought several major highlights and refactorings. The
most important one is a new propagation algorithm based on Farnocchia,
D., Cioci, D.B. & Milani, A. "Robust resolution of Kepler’s equation
in all eccentricity regimes" (2013) that avoids numerical problems in
the near parabolic region (eccentricity near 1). As a result, we can
now propagate impact trajectories and orbits of distant comets without
problems.

Other cool stuff:

- New API to retrieve ephemerides
- Simple API to retrieve mean elements of Solar System planets
- New color palette

Sixteen people contributed bug fixes and new features to this release.
