DOI

This project provides several datasets in GeoJSON and GeoPackage format of celestial objects as of J2000 epoch.

The original files were provided on the d3-celestial plugin (Frohn 2015) under BSD 3-Clause. The datasets produced on this project consists on the same data provided on d3-celestial plugin processed with the R package sf (Pebesma 2018) to ensure its validity:

  • The spatial data objects are bounded to $$[-180, -90, 180, 90]$$.

  • Date is provided on WGS84 - World Geodetic System 1984 (EPSG:4326).

  • All geometries valid as per ST_IsValid (GEOS 3.9.3).

Distribution

The data can be accessed from several API endpoints:

<!-- From GitHub -->
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dieghernan/celestial_data/main/data/mw.min.geojson

<!-- From the Website -->
https://dieghernan.github.io/celestial_data/data/mw.min.geojson

<!-- From jsDelivr -->
https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/dieghernan/celestial_data@main/data/mw.min.geojson

Data

Data is provided in GeoJSON (*.geojson) and GeoPackage (*.gpkg) format. Additionally, for GeoJSON formats a minified version (*.min.geojson) is also provided.

The data source can be found on the corresponding GitHub repo.
