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.
ASTROSTUDY
Summary
We have lots of complex data and information available regarding numerous astronomical objects in platforms such as NASA Astronomical Virtual Observatories (NAVO ), Aladin Sky Atlas, Treasure Map, SkyView etc, Many of these platforms needs complex and specific information which would be accessible only by astronomers, astrophysicists, researchers It becomes difficult for an ordinary citizen to understand these data.So, we have attempted to create a platform where everyone from a common person with no or less astronomy background to highly qualified researchers and astronomers can access and understand the data quickly and easily .
How We Addressed This Challenge
We have created a website that can help every citizen from an interested common person to the professional astronomy observer to understand and access data and resources quickly and easily . More importantly we have classified the data and mentioned the main targets of a particular astronomical object.
for example :- we have classified the main target astroids as shown in the below images
How We Developed This Project
We have created an intresting and interactive which consumes less time to for a user to explore.
How We Used Space Agency Data in This Project
the data collected from NAVO and Aladin Sky Atlas was useful in classifing the astrophysical objects especially the main targets according to the satelites and telescopes .
