Spaceye is something hit my mind 🧠 when I was reading 📘 "Introductation to Astrophsics" by Baidyanath Basu which said we can get informatation about some celestial bodies from thier spectrum.So I set out to make a tool that extract this informatation from the spectrum.
Spectrum is basically a collection of all the colors in the image split up this can be taken from spectrometers u can make a spectrometer at home for 10$
It looks like:
It takes a spectrum image finds the color-graph find the adsorption lines the does some data crunching to find the corresponding elements, then also uses doppler shift to find the speed(radial velocity) 🏎️ , and matches with the star type to find an Idea about temperarture 🌡️ and wieght
It also has a feature where we can take in video of celestial 🪐 body to find its rotation time
This all is packaged in a simple GUI.
Step 1: clone the repo
git clone https://github.com/Blackcipher101/Spaceye.git
Step 2: install required packages
pip install opencv-python
pip install PySimpleGUI
Step3: Showtime
python3 main.py
🥳 Ça suffit! 🥳
Here can adjust the amount of accuracy you want the set in such a way you don't have many lines but some promient lines.
Enter your start and end frquency of the spectrometer try looking up spectralbench if you don't know
Yaah its all done that simple right,
I have cross-verified the elements with what are mostly find in those type of stars and it matches up 90% of the time and also the speed and weight numbers.
Enter the duration of the video
an leave it
I missed the accurate rotation time by 0.74 days which is 27 days Disclamer:Only gives rotation of the middle part as in some celestial bodies different regions have differnt times
Feel Free to make issues and send PRs 😇
All the images used were from spectral bench provided by public lab and the video was picked from SOHO webisite
