Global Finalists Honorable Mentions
MoonQuaker project
High-Level Project Summary
Lunar seismic events are rarely of interest for many people in the world, this is likely due to there are no events that have had a significant impact on our lives. In this project, we developed a visual 3D seismic event tool which enable to user play with real data retrieved from instruments from NASA. We also show a temporal series with seismic records during decade 70. This tool may provide insights to locations where the new missions from ARTEMIS will land. This tool allows any users to be able to analyze the seismic real data in a very approachable way. Also the graphs give another point of view of seismic events allowing the user quantifying and compare with earthquakes magnitudes.

Detailed Project Description
Our project uses the CGI moon kit DEM Digital Elevation Map and other images to create a photorealistic model of the moon where quakes and artificial impacts from different datasest belonging to the Apollo Lunar Surface Experiments are mapped.

Hackathon Journey
Sharing knowledge with amazing people. In general we learned about seismic events, data analysis and processing by using open source software . We have chosen this challenge because we believe that everything related to the moon and its moonquakes are not currently generating interest and we would like to change that with our interactive 3D moon.
We started searching in the web, and we found a github repo that we used as the base of the project.
We added the control system and the textures.
We tried adding the moonquakes information into the same surface, but that led to setbacks which we were able to overcome.
