Near Earth Comets
✓ Published1🌍 Public
A near-Earth comet dataset is loaded from a CSV file, and its orbital elements are displayed as JSON. The visualization shows the raw quantitative attributes for a single comet, including eccentricity, inclination, perihelion, aphelion, and orbital period. The code parses the data and prints it to the screen as a text-based representation, using plain JavaScript and the `data.csv` import. This example emphasizes the data structure rather than a graphical rendering of the orbits.
AI-generated descriptionThe Near Earth Comets Dataset loaded and parsed as CSV.
Details: The table below provides J2000 heliocentric ecliptic orbital elements for 170 NECs (Near-Earth Comets) sorted by object number/name.
Columns:
- Object
- Epoch (TDB)
- TP (TDB)
- e
- i (deg)
- w (deg)
- Node (deg)
- q (AU)
- Q (AU)
- P (yr)
- MOID (AU)
- A1 (AU/d^2)
- A2 (AU/d^2)
- A3 (AU/d^2)
- DT (d)
- Ref
- Object Name
Tasks:
- Show the relative shapes of the orbits.
- Show the relative sizes of the orbits.
- Show the length of time for an orbit.
- Represent the correlation between size, shape, and duration of orbits.
- I want to show subsets of the comets based on farthest distance from the Sun.
