Space Now (NASA Space Apps Challenge)

Project Details .

 Six modules of this simulation tool i.e:'' Star Finder (Star Now), Celestial Photo Boom, Fermi’s Eye, See the Unseen, Ripple in Spacetime, and Events of the year" will show six different approaches to visualizing data of current and AI predicted scenario for Celestial bodies and events. Stars, GRB, Gravitational wave, Visualization and simulation of GRB and Gravitational-wave sources like Blackhole merging, Neutron star collision, and How Fermi and Swift send data to HEASARC Archive are shown with Events of the year-highlighting super events of HEASARC observation in a given time frame.
