High-Level Project Summary
With the telescope we designed in our project, we calculate approximately when the stars we see when we look into space will complete their lifetime and when the effect of the event (for example, supernova) that may occur as a result of completing their lifetime can be measured on Earth.In addition to all these, the machine we designed will output which star is the star we observed, the data of this star (via the database) and our calculations on a screen.

Detailed Project Description
We collect detailed information about the stars we see with the telescope we designed. In order to collect this information, we learn the name of the star we see from the planetarium. We pull the detailed data of the star we learned from NSSDC. We transform the data we have into new data with the formulas we develop. With the information we obtain, we reflect detailed information about that star on the screen. This program is coded with Pyhton software language. The purpose of this invention is to calculate the remaining lifetime of the stars and to give detailed information about the star.
Space Agency Data
With the telescope we designed, we detect the star we have determined in our field of view. Then, since we need more information about this star, we look at the data of the 1.4 billion stars in NSSDC and the star we have determined from their properties. From these data, we can calculate the approximate value of the remaining life of that star using the formula we developed by using the mass of the star and the distance between it and the earth. In addition, we display other data we receive from NSSDC on the screen of our telescope for the use of astrophysicists. The data of the Space Agency are useful in these areas.
Hackathon Journey
We were planning to produce our own project during the hackathon process, but since we had no idea, we first aimed to create a project that would benefit from NASA's data. We planned to produce a project in the fields of both physics and engineering with our teammates and "Supernovameter" came out. We implemented our project with uninterrupted work for 2 days, but of course we encountered difficulties. For example, the GPS system was not working as stable as we wanted, so we had to change the whole operation around 5 am on the 2nd day. That's what the hackathon journey was like for us.
