Here is my finished project. This is how to turn it in? Thanks!
Hi, welcome to the forums!
Check out this thread about how to make your 3-d scatterplot in 3-D rather than 2D:
Congratulations on finishing up. For a little bit of criticism, take a close look at your z-axis on the 3D plot. If you’re using the standard matplotlib.pyplot.scatter() function you will only get 2D plotting as there’s no z paramater so alll those points sit at z=0.0 .
You need to be using the scatter method of the 3D axis itself, e.g.
fig_3d = plt.figure()
ax_3d = plt.subplot(1, 1, 1, projection="3d")
orion_3d_scatter = ax_3d.scatter(x, y, z ...
See the docs for info-
I’d also encourage…
Also, you can add some items to the 3-D grid to get rid of the grid itself:ax3D.grid(False)ax3D.set_facecolor('black')ax3D.scatter(x,y,z, c='gold', marker = '*', s= 60)

Hi all!
Here’s my version of orion constellation project. I could not get any feedback for my previous projects and some feedback would help too much. Thanks!
