Data Used

The following data sources were used to construct this application

• Stars
  
  • I got the stars dataset from ATHYG-Database.
  • The file I used was titled as "athyg_31_reduced_m10.csv". I then used a Google Colab notebook to preprocess the data.
  • For preprocessing, I first got rid of all columns except those which were required ie, hip, dist, x0, y0, z0, mag, absmag, vx, vy, vz, spect.
  • I then removed any null values in these items.
  • Further, I converted the distance and velocities vx, vy, vz to be in parsecs.
  • Finally, I formatted the "spect" values to only represent OBAFKGM letters.


• Exoplanets
  
  • I got the explonets dataset from Exoplanet Archive.
  • I filtered the columsn to only keep the HIP IDs and Number of exoplanets.
  • For preprocessing, I dropped the duplicates.


• Constellations
  
  • I got the constellations datasets from Stellarium.
  • I downloaded the constellationship.fab and constellation_names.fab files from the following collections - Aztec, Modern, Maya, Chinese, Egyptian, and Norse.
  • I did not preprocess these, I used them as text assets directly and mapped them to the HIP IDs in the star dataset inside the unity environment.
