MeteoGlobe: A Vue repository from ImadSaddik

MeteoGlobe is a web application built with Django and Vue.js that allows users to visualize meteorite data on a 3D globe. The application uses the three-globe to display a 3D globe and NASA's meteorites dataset to show meteorite landings on the Earth's surface. Users can apply various filters to explore meteorites based on their year of discovery, country of discovery, chemical composition, and more.

Features

3D Globe Visualization: MeteoGlobe uses three-globe to render a 3D representation of the Earth, making it an engaging and interactive experience for users.
Meteorite Data: The application fetches meteorite data from NASA's dataset, providing comprehensive information about meteorite landings, including location, year, mass, and composition.
Custom Filters: Users can apply filters to the meteorite data, allowing them to narrow down their search based on criteria such as the year the meteorite was found, the country of discovery, and the chemical composition.
