Challenge
"Make a moonquakes map!" Develop an app that plots the seismic data these instruments transmitted back to Earth on an interactive 3-D globe in a 48-hour hackathon.
Solution
According to NASA, the moon has at least four different types of moonquakes, including deep moonquakes, meteorite impacts, thermal moonquakes, and shallow moonquakes. At present, it is impossible to know exactly what causes the moonquakes and how to prove that the moonquakes happened. The Mooooom team uses Apollo seismometers data and integrates the data into a website with 3D models. We hope to provide people with knowledge and experience through a user-friendly website. We also hope that scientists can use this website to easily see the time of moonquakes.
Process
We analyzed and visualized more than 10,000 pieces of data collected by Apollo seismic experiments from 1969 to 1977. The user can interact differently with the 3D models of the moon and the Apollo seismometers on the website. The slider is used to set the time to show the moonquake location in the 3D moon model. The user can also see the location of the Apollo seismometers. If you click on the epicenter, the details of the moonquake will pop up. We imported the 3D Javascript Library - Three.js in frontend framework Vue3 and implemented it into our website. We keep our local repository in sync with GitHub to ensure collaboration.
