Details:

Given that the referenceEllipsoid function exists and appears to include data
for the objects known to the referenceSphere function (the sun and planets),
it seems like it should be straightforward to create the referenceSphere
function.  I would give it a try but I don't know what transformation to make
on referenceEllipsoid data to convert it to what the referenceSphere function
returns.
