A scatter plot maps temperature midpoint against moon phase for Bigfoot sighting reports, with each point colored by the reported season. Built with React and D3 v7, the visualization uses `d3.csv` to load data, `d3.scaleLinear` and `d3.extent` to compute scales, and renders circles as WebGL elements. The dataset contains 1,000 sightings from the BFRO database, covering locations across the US from the 1970s to recent years.

AI-generated description

This data can be found here: https://data.world/timothyrenner/bfro-sightings-data and pulls from Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization (BFRO) data set. There are 5000+ rows, but I cut it down for this viz to the first 1000. It references sightings across the US in a wide range of time from 1970's to the last couple years.

This viz includes mapping the temperature_mid to the moon_phase and also color coding the points by season (summer, spring, fall, winter, unknown)
