01 CRATERS IN LIGHT
FULLSTACK | REACT APP ENGINEER

Ongoing PERSONAL PROJECT
PROJECT: Use Current Moonphase & Illumination to Determine Craters in Light
-Using spherical coordinates (polar angle θ and azimuthal angle φ) along with the craters' diameters, I remapped a selection of Lunar craters from the Earth-visible hemisphere of the moon onto a Cartesian plot, accurately reflecting their relative positions and sizes.
-To determine the azimuthal angle φ of the terminator (the line dividing day and night), I calculated a sinusoidal function based on the 2D projection of the current illumination data obtained from timeanddate.com.
-I created a Lambda function with the appropriate library dependencies / Lambda layers to serve as an API, enabling seamless access to the timeanddate.com API through the Python library I was provided.
-Instead of using a database, I leveraged GitHub Gists for storing and accessing small datasets. This approach provided a quick and efficient way to handle and share small amounts of data without the overhead of database management.
-Next Steps: Indicate the visually lit area on the graph as well as provide the coordinates and the next projected viewing date for each crater.
Technology Stack: JavaScript (JSON), React, D3, HTML, CSS, Python, Flask, Github Gists, Lambda Function, API Gateway, AWS
APIs Used: Libtad Library API (timeanddate.com’s API)
GitHub: Please contact me for access.
