About

Orbital_Dashboard is a lightweight, open-source tool written in Python that visualizes the current positions and orbital data of solar system bodies — including planets and asteroids. It’s ideal for educational, hobbyist, or research purposes: giving users quick, up-to-date insight into where objects are in their orbits.

The goal is to offer a simple and accessible way to observe orbital mechanics without needing heavy astronomy software or deep setup.

Features

• 🌌 Displays positions of major planets.
• ☄️ Tracks asteroids alongside planets.
• 📅 Provides real-time or near-real-time orbital state (depending on data source).
• 🧰 Easy to install and run locally with minimal dependencies.
• 🔧 Simple architecture — easy to extend or integrate into larger projects.

Demo / Screenshots

(Optional — add screenshots or GIFs of the dashboard here to help users get a sense of the UI/output.)

Getting Started

Prerequisites

• Python 3.10+ (or compatible version)
• Internet access (if fetching live orbital data)
• (Optional) A virtual environment tool such as venv or virtualenv

Installation

bash

Clone the repository

git clone https://github.com/c0pp3rdru1d/Orbital_Dashboard.git cd Orbital_Dashboard

(Optional but recommended) Create a virtual environment

python -m venv .venv source .venv/bin/activate # On Windows: .\.venv\Scripts\activate

Install dependencies (if any listed in pyproject.toml or requirements)

pip install -r requirements.txt

If your project uses pyproject.toml / Poetry / another build system, replace installation steps appropriately.

Running the Dashboard

python main.py

This should start the dashboard (e.g. a CLI, GUI, or web interface depending on implementation). Follow any prompts or view the output to see current orbital statuses. Usage

Explain here how to use the dashboard once running. For example:

What command-line arguments are supported (if any).

How to filter or specify which bodies to display (planets, asteroid groups, etc.).

How to refresh data or configure update intervals.

Any configuration or environment variables.

You can expand this section if you add more modules, data folders, assets, or documentation. Contributing

Contributions are welcome! If you have ideas for features, bug fixes, or enhancements:

Fork the repo.

Create a new branch (git checkout -b feature/MyFeature).

Make your changes and commit with clear messages.

Submit a Pull Request.

It’s helpful to include tests (if applicable), and document any new functionality.

If you intend to make major changes or refactor, please open an issue first to discuss your plan. License
