High-Level Project Summary
My team and I have been working on visualizing earthquakes on the Moon. Our primary task was to create a website and put a 3D model of the Moon on the website. Having done that we added the possibility for users to interact with the 3D model of the Moon and find out where on the surface the seismic activity takes place. Our website is an analytical tool to visualize when, where and how much seismic activity happens on the Moon. For the science community, it will allow you to gather ready-made information and use it for further research.

Detailed Project Description
On our website you can find 3D models of the moon. You can rotate the moon and look at both sides. Seismic activity of 1972. Also would like to add filtering by year and magnitude in the futureю
For the average user who is not a researcher, this tool could be the impetus for in-depth study. The Moon will no longer seem like a mystery to humanity. After all, by studying our nearest neighbor, we can discover a lot of new things about our planet. Because of the availability of information, there will be technological advances, more discoveries. People will increasingly seek to study and explore the Moon and other planets.

Hackathon Journey
Crazy experience. We were used to working on the same type of tasks solving business problems, but here the tasks were thematic and interesting. We needed not only knowledge of technology, but also knowledge of space and the moon in particular. It is no secret that almost all of us have gaps in this science. The hackathon was a reason to study global space problems, forcing us to think about big issues. And also the hackathon was an opportunity to test our skills, learn what we are capable of, what to work on professionally.
Why did we choose this particular challange? There's a space exploration strategy and there's a special place for the Moon. A lot of attention is paid to this object, because we are close to it. Exploring the moon will open other doors to outer space. To solve the challange we have chosen the Scrum methodology. The team has one data engineer, a web developer and a project manager. In case of problems, we turned to mentors and an acquaintance. Thanks to the teamwork we were able to develop a demo version of the site.
