High-Level Project Summary
According to this challange, we have to visualze moon's seismic data which is making a map. To solve this challange we created a 3D moon map with seismic event's coordinates. After creating moon's 3D model, we added red dots which symbolize the seismic events locations. We chose North Pole as origin and connected each dot with a yellow line. Moreover, when you click red dots you are able to see the coordinats and severty of the moonquake.

Detailed Project Description
Thanks to our map seismic events on the moon is much easier to monitor. In addition, the relationship between dots can be seen at the first look, so that we can detect which region is more likely to have a moonquake.
We used Web GL, java script (THREE library), python and jQuery. We put account python to create a text file which includes dot's coordinations, we used python. To visualize the moon as a sphere we used java script and for the rest of the web page we used Web GL , jQery. We code these languages from visual studio code.
Space Agency Data
We have benefited space agency data for finding the data of moonquake's coordinates. To make this we used the cvs files which takes place on resource page of the challenge. Also we had to understand how these data has been collectin,g we have read the files of ALSEP and EASEP. It was inspirational for us to be reaching beyond Earth .
Hackathon Journey
Since we didn't have any idea about Web GL and java script, the whole process was a real challange for us at first. But the challange has impressed us so deeply that we had thought we got this,. Thus we have started working and searching. From the beginning to the end the rest of the process was at lightning speed. We kept working and working.
Thanks to all the positive approach and determination we had , we have completed the challenge succesfully. At the end are now able to code Web GL and Java Script.
We have special thanks to one of our teacher, he has been very supportive to us.
