Description
Ksi is a school project developed in Python by Théo Polgar, Élias Ephrem-Boustany and Guillaume Rabeau, designed to simulate the positions of planets over time. This application calculates and displays the real-time positions of celestial bodies in our solar system based on specified time parameters. Leveraging astronomical algorithms and precise data, Ksi provides an accurate and educational visualization of planetary movements. The project showcases proficiency in Python programming, algorithm implementation, and a solid understanding of orbital mechanics.
Key Features
- Real-time Simulation: Accurately simulates the positions of planets at any given time.
- User Interface: Provides an intuitive interface for users to input time parameters and view planetary positions.
- Educational Tool: Serves as an educational resource for understanding planetary orbits and celestial mechanics.
- Algorithm Implementation: Utilizes advanced algorithms for precise astronomical calculations.
Technologies Used
- Python
- Astronomical algorithms
- Data visualization libraries (e.g., Matplotlib)
Role and Contributions
- Designed and implemented some of the user interfaces for input and visualization.
- Conducted testing to ensure accuracy and reliability of the simulations.
Outcome
Successfully created an interactive and educational application that aids in the understanding of planetary positions and movements, demonstrating strong programming skills and knowledge of astronomy.
