An open-source tutorial and dataset for creating a detailed map of asteroid orbits in the solar system using NASA data. It includes Python code (Jupyter Notebooks) for gathering, cleaning, and visualizing orbital data, plus design instructions for finishing the map in Illustrator and Photoshop.

Use cases

• map asteroid orbits in the solar system
• learn scientific data visualization with Python
• download NASA asteroid orbit data for visualization
• create a poster-style astronomy infographic
• learn how to clean and merge NASA HORIZONS data
• teach a data visualization or astronomy tutorial

When to choose

• you want to reproduce or adapt a beautiful solar system orbit map
• you're learning Python-based scientific data visualization with real NASA data
• you need a worked example of cleaning and plotting large orbital datasets

When to avoid

• you need a general-purpose astronomy library or ephemeris tool
• you want an interactive or web-based map rather than a static illustration
• you need actively maintained, production-grade software - this is a one-off tutorial project
