Hey! What Are You Looking At?

The High Energy Astrophysics Science Archive Research Center (HEASARC) archives space agencies' data from missions studying electromagnetic radiation from extremely energetic cosmic phenomena (e.g., gravitational wave detections, gamma ray bursts, and supernovae). The Canadian Astronomy Data Center (CADC) is another repository containing missions studying comets, asteroids, and exoplanets among other things. Your challenge is to create a visualization tool that can help people interested in these phenomena to access the data quickly and easily.

Infospace

Summary

The InfoSpace site is based on facilitating the NASA, the HEASARC, and the other observatories around the world data. The team realizes that those originals sites were into scientists, people that already are familiarised with that kind of information; creating a barrier for the ones who have an interest in those types of media. For that reason, we have the idea to focus on simply turning them creating summaries, and explaining videos to achieve the primary goals.

How We Addressed This Challenge

The project addresses the challenge directly, the challenge is to improve the search tool on the reasarc website and the group was able to do just that, we improved the research platform by creating another research platform.

How We Developed This Project

The project was developed from technology based tools, website development tools with the application of framework, for the formation of an interactive tool in which users obtain information in a clear and objective way, thus valuing the development of public knowledge layman.
