//! Equatorial coordinate representation with astrometric uncertainties.
//!
//! This module provides [`EquCoord`], a compact structure that bundles a sky
//! position in the equatorial frame with its associated 1-σ astrometric
//! uncertainties. All four fields — `ra`, `dec`, `ra_error`, `dec_error` — are
//! stored in **radians**.
//!
//! ## Construction
//!
//! - [`EquCoord::new`] — accepts all four values already in radians.
//! - [`EquCoord::from_degrees`] — accepts values in degrees and converts them
//!   to radians automatically.
//!
//! ## Accessors
//!
//! - [`EquCoord::to_degrees`] — returns `(ra, dec)` as a degree tuple.
//! - [`EquCoord::error_in_degrees`] — returns `(ra_error, dec_error)` in degrees.
//!
//! ## Geometry
//!
//! - [`EquCoord::angular_separation`] — great-circle distance via the numerically
//!   stable Vincenty formula; result lies in $[0, \pi]$ radians.
//! - [`EquCoord::spherical_midpoint`] — vector-averaging midpoint on the unit sphere;
//!   stable even for nearly-antipodal directions.
//!
//! ## Covariance propagation
//!
//! - [`EquCoordCov::to_cartesian_cov`] — projects to [`CartesianCoordCov`] using a
//!   first-order Jacobian propagation of the full 2×2 input covariance.
//! - [`EquCoordCov`] — extends [`EquCoord`] with a full 2×2 astrometric covariance
//!   (including the RA–Dec correlation term); provides
//!   [`EquCoordCov::to_cartesian_cov`] for full-covariance propagation.
//!
//! ## Conversions
//!
//! - `From<`[`CartesianCoord`]`> for EquCoord` — recovers RA/Dec from a Cartesian
//!   direction; output errors are set to zero.
//! - [`std::fmt::Display`] — formats the position as
//!   `RA: <ra_deg> deg, Dec: <dec_deg> deg`.
