Meteor Landing Scatter Plot
This scatter plot maps meteorite landings by their longitude and latitude coordinates, effectively forming a world map from the NASA Meteorite Landings dataset. The visualization uses D3's `scaleLinear` for both axes, with fixed ranges of -180 to 180 and -90 to 90, and renders semi-transparent circles at each landing site. Axes and labels are generated via D3's `axisLeft` and the `@curran/axis-labels` helper library. The code imports data from the `@reddishmatthew/meteorite-landings` package and builds the chart within an SVG container.

In this Scatter Plot, I used Longitude and Latitude from the dataset. I wanted to do this to display basically a world map, where the data points are the landings in their relative locations in the world.
Note: The axes do not use extent from d3. I changed them to have the -90,90 and -180,180 range of latitude and longitude.
