High-Level Project Summary
To solve this challenge we decided to create a star visualizer so that people can interact with their life cycle, in addition learning that there are different types of stars, the characteristics that they have and that depending on them is how each one will develop.

Detailed Project Description
Today we have the necessary technologies to make the disclosure of information easy and fast. However, there are topics that, thanks to their degree of complexity, are difficult to understand, which causes people who are beginning to integrate into the world of science to lose interest.
The importance we give to our astronomical knowledge is minimal, however, we totally depend on what happens in space and how the elements affect the Earth, either directly or indirectly. It was thought that if there were an easy-to-use tool, people could get involved in astronomy from the beginning so that it would be more digestible and the fear of acquiring this knowledge would be lost.
The objective of the challenge that was chosen is to show people in a visible way the variability of the stars, in order to be able to inform their characteristics in a simple way.
That is why it was decided to create a star visualizer so that people can interact with their life cycle, in addition to learning that there are different types of stars, the characteristics that they have and that depending on them is how each one will develop.
Space Agency Data
The information provided by NASA was very enriching and satisfactory for the web page and we consider that it will be of great help for the people who are entering the knowledge of the cosmos, it was a great spearhead to be able to sustain and present our idea on the page well. interactive website
Hackathon Journey
The entire process of solving the challenge was an enriching experience, from the planting of the idea to its development, it was an interesting process in which as a team we developed new skills in order to carry out our work in the best possible way. At the beginning it was a bit difficult to analyze all the ideas to unite them in a single project, but in the end we talked and managed to reach a final project.
