Perfect for stargazing enthusiasts with or without a telescope!**\n\n## 📜 Features\n- **Location Tracking**: Detects your geographic coordinates.  \n- **ISS Position**: Tracks the ISS's real-time position in orbit.  \n- **Nighttime Detection**: Sends alerts only when it's dark outside.  \n- **Email Notifications**: Get an email prompt to \"Look Up!\"  \n\n## 💻 How It Works\n1. The script uses [ISS API](http://open-notify.org/Open-Notify-API/ISS-Location-Now/) for real-time position data.    \n2. Nighttime conditions are checked using the sunset/sunrise API.  \n3. When all conditions align, you receive an email to view the ISS.  \n\n## 🚀 Setup\n1. Clone this repository:  \n   ```bash  \n   git clone https://github.com/yourusername/iss_tracker.git  \n   ```  \n2. Install dependencies:  \n   ```bash  \n   pip install -r requirements.txt  \n   ```  \n3. Add your credentials to `.env`:  \n   ```\n   EMAIL=your_email  \n   PASSWORD=your_email_password  \n   ```  \n\n## 🎯 Usage\nRun the script:  \n```bash  \npython iss_tracker.py  \n```  \n\nYou'll receive a notification email whenever the ISS is visible at your location during dark hours.  \n\n## 📧 Email Preview\n**Subject**: \"Look Up! The ISS is Here!\"  \n**Body**: \"The ISS is currently visible in your area. Step outside, look up, and enjoy the view!\"\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fsayed-ashfaq%2Fiss_tracker","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fsayed-ashfaq%2Fiss_tracker","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fsayed-ashfaq%2Fiss_tracker/lists"}
