High-Level Project Summary
Our project aims to be able to locate and inform people about lunar seismic activities. With time and effort, it can inform many people about the moon and space.

Detailed Project Description
Our Plans and Intentions
Initially, we wanted to use the data from DARTS/JAXA to use on our project. However, that did not go as planned as we had issues accessing the data on JAXA's website. We coded a 3D, rotating moon. We were planning to put the seismic data on this 3D map but due to the difficulties reaching the information we were unable to. We are planning to put the said data on the 3D map when we get access to this information on JAXA's website.

Programming Languages
We've used HTML, CSS and Javascript (Three.js, Node.js) for our purposes.
Space Agency Data
Data and Methods from NASA
We used the 3D Texture Map of the moon provided by NASA in our project. We've also utilized information collected by experiments made by NASA.
Data from JAXA
While we were planning on using and in fact basing a great part of our project on the data given to us by JAXA, we've unfortunately been neither able to reach the website nor get the records of past moonquakes from JAXA.
Hackathon Journey
Our enthusiasm about space and astronomy has never been a temporary one and we've been interested in the moon for a long time so this challenge has been a perfect fit for us. The Hackathon was an event that we were proud to attend which has also taught us a lot. We've learnt many things about the moon and the moonquakes that take place on it. We used what we've already known and the information presented to us by NASA to build the project. We had many great ideas but given that we had limited time, we could only act on the most important ones. We'd like to thank TED Çorum College for generously informing us, TED Mersin College for their support and NASA for giving us the opportunity to compete in Space Apps Challenge.
