Galactic Star Map of The Kepler Systems

<p>Ever since seeing the star maps in Apple&rsquo;s Foundation I&rsquo;ve wanted to create my own Galactic Star Map of the star systems mapped by NASA&rsquo;s Kepler / K2 Telescope. The Kepler mission has provided an unprecedented dataset for identifying exoplanets in our galaxy downloaded from Kaggle at&nbsp;<a href="https://www.kaggle.com/datasets/nasa/kepler-exoplanet-search-results" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">https://www.kaggle.com/datasets/nasa/kepler-exoplanet-search-results</a>&nbsp;and the background 60MB star map image is provided by ESA&rsquo;s Gaia satellite downloaded from&nbsp;<a href="https://sci.esa.int/web/gaia/-/60169-gaia-s-sky-in-colour" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">https://sci.esa.int/web/gaia/-/60169-gaia-s-sky-in-colour</a>. This is a simple visualalization of the positions of the Kepler star systems.</p> <p><a href="https://thomasafink.medium.com/galactic-star-map-of-the-kepler-systems-f46289e77f1a"><strong>Visit Now</strong></a></p>
