Hi,

Thank you for merging and leading this refresh quest!

While refreshing (now) packages from astronomy module I've faced wit few
failing to build due to hard requirement of Python3.11+ and NumPy 1.27+
or 2.0+ which don't have yet.

I've got a chance to to refresh NumPy to 1.24 but any farther version
failed to build (see notes on the package).

May we give it one more go with NumPy and friends?
