My Orion constellation project

# from matplotlib import pyplot as plt from mpl_toolkits.mplot3d import Axes3D # Orion x = [-0.41, 0.57, 0.07, 0.00, -0.29, -0.32,-0.50,-0.23, -0.23] y = [4.12, 7.71, 2.36, 9.10, 13.35, 8.13, 7.19, 13.25,13.43] z = [2.06, 0.84, 1.56, 2.07, 2.36, 1.72, 0.66, 1.25,1.38] # Create 2D Visualization fig = plt.figure(figsize=(6,5)) fig.add_subplot(1,1,1) plt.scatter(x,y, color="green") plt.xlabel("Cartesian X distance. Hundreds Light Years") plt.ylabel("Cartesian Y distance. Hundreds Light Years") plt.title("2D Visualization of Orion Constellation") plt.show() # Create 3D Visualization fig_3d = plt.figure(figsize=(6,5)).add_subplot(1,1,1, projection="3d") fig_3d.scatter(x,y,z, color="green") fig_3d.set_xlabel("Hundreds Light Years (X)") fig_3d.set_ylabel("Hundreds Light Years (Y)") fig_3d.set_zlabel("Hundreds Light Years (Z)") fig_3d.set_title("3D Visualization of Orion Constellation") plt.show()

Congrats on finishing the project.

Just a thought…for the 3d plot, you could also try adding the maker parameter, s parameter, getting rid of the grid and making the background black like so:

fig_3d.scatter(x,y,z, color="gold", marker = '*', s=60)
fig_3d.set_facecolor('black')
fig_3d.grid(False)

Hi el_friend,

Well done! All the code looks good, and below is my feedback based on the rubric for this project.

Matplotlib and CSV - 4 / 4
Implementation of 2D visualization - 4 / 4
Implementation of 3D visualization - 4 / 4

Regards,
Thiago
