Galactic Star Map of The Kepler Systems
<p>Ever since seeing the star maps in Apple’s Foundation I’ve wanted to create my own Galactic Star Map of the star systems mapped by NASA’s Kepler / K2 Telescope. The Kepler mission has provided an unprecedented dataset for identifying exoplanets in our galaxy downloaded from Kaggle at <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> and the background 60MB star map image is provided by ESA’s Gaia satellite downloaded from <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>
