A tool for visualizing asteroid orbits and sky positions using Skyfield, Astroquery, Plotly, and Matplotlib.

Project description

⭐️ AstroView

AstroView is a Python toolkit for high-precision asteroid ephemerides and orbit visualisation.
Powered by the outstanding Skyfield library, AstroView matches official almanac data to within 0.0005 arcsec accuracy while giving you an intuitive, notebook-friendly API.

✨ Features

  • Accurate ephemerides
    • Asteroid positions (RA/Dec, Cartesian) at any time
    • Distances and 3-D separation vectors (e.g. asteroid ↔ Earth)
  • Horizontal coordinates
    • Instant conversion to altitude / azimuth for any observing site
  • 3-D orbit plots
    • Matplotlib-based orbit viewer with Sun & Earth for context
  • Built-in observatory database
    • Call sites by name (e.g. "Mauna Kea", "Paranal")
  • Extensible design
    • Framework ready for satellites, comets, or planets in future versions
