Inspiration

One of the most intriguing NASA's missions to explore the universe and its formation is the Kepler mission. Kepler collects various data from planets it sees so NASA scientists can keep track and explore these planets and identify Exoplanets: An exoplanet is any planet beyond our solar system. Most orbit other stars, but free-floating exoplanets, called rogue planets, orbit the galactic center and are untethered to any star. (https://exoplanets.nasa.gov/what-is-an-exoplanet/overview/)

What it does

The program uses classification analysis to identify characteristics of Kepler's data about planets and identify how many planets are Exoplanets.

How we built it

We use Jupiter Notebook, python, data found on Kaggle.

Challenges we ran into

Understanding technical variables on in the data set

What's next for Exoplanet Classification

Improve the models and categorize the 4 types of Exoplanets: Gas giant, Neptunian, super-Earth and terrestrial
