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.

The Internet's Modern Telescope

Summary

First aim is all of multi-part systems combined with a modern perspective and a colored map instead of working in too many multi-part systems, so system became more understandable for users. Another aim of the system is very easy because everyone uses it easily even if they who are interested in sky don't know any information about space. A professional person reaches a lot of analysises with the website.

How We Addressed This Challenge

There are a lot of websites about sky's survey. One of this websites gives location of stars, others show data which can be used by another websites. For example, gamma light waves, spectral anaysis, etc. But our website shows picture of a point in space, information of telescope and time when users enter a coordinate number on our website.

How We Developed This Project

Programming languages such as PHP, JavaScript, technologies such as HTML, CSS, and open source APIs were used. In addition to these, Visual Studio Code was used as the development environment.
