Description

further expansion upon this topic:

given some ephemeris sampled at some cadence, if a time window is queried, we want to also include the measurements just outside that range, so that interpolation is applicable to the entire desired time range

for instance for time range query defined as ------- and ephem cadence * * * , the situation

-------------
  *  *  *  *  *

will fail when querying positions at the earliest and latest time because they're outside the ephem range

Research direction

Start by tracing the time-range query and ephemeris interpolation path described in the issue; no file or test entry point is named. Check the boundary behavior for queries extending beyond the first or last measurement, and verify that the adjacent measurements are included so interpolation covers the complete requested range.
