Research direction

Start with the failing distance-related tests in the linked GitHub Actions job and compare their behavior with pull request 1461, which changed the Andoyer strategy. Confirm the failures locally, determine whether they expose a regression or expected numerical changes, and finish with the affected tests passing.
