Orion constellation Project

Hi. Here is my Orion Constellation Project.

1. Set-Up

%matplotlib notebook
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from mpl_toolkits.mplot3d import Axes3D

2. Get familiar with real data

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_1 = [2.06, 0.84, 1.56, 2.07, 2.36, 1.72, 0.66, 1.25,1.38]

# because i couldn't see the plots well...
z = [i * 10 for i in z_1]

3. Create a 2D Visualization

fig = plt.figure()
fig.add_subplot(1, 1, 1)
plt.title('2-D Orion Constellation')
plt.xlabel('X-Coordinate')
plt.ylabel('Y-Coordinate')
plt.scatter(x, y, color='#7dafff', marker='x')
plt.show()

4. Create a 3D Visualization

fig_3d = plt.figure()
fig_3d.add_subplot(1, 1, 1, projection="3d")
plt.title('3-D Orion Constellation')
plt.xlabel('X-Coordinate')
plt.ylabel('Y-Coordinate')
constellation3d = plt.scatter(x, y, z)
