Asteroid Explorers
A data visualization making astronomical data more accessible to the average person
Asteroid Explorers is a data visualization created for NASA’s Asteroid Grand Challenge, which asked participants to make astronomical data more accessible to the average person. The Asteroid Explorers website, which answers four fundamental questions people tend to have about asteroids through images, graphs, and visualizations, has a three-tiered approach to appeal to people with different levels of interest.
