# [Orion Star Cluster Hertzsprung-Russell Scatterplot](https://charityeverett.github.io/orion-constellation-scatterplot/)

This project visualizes the Orion Star Cluster using a 3D scatterplot based on stellar properties such as temperature, luminosity, and radius. The data is sourced from a GeoJSON file containing information about various stars in the cluster.

## Features

- **3D Visualization**: Stars are represented as spheres in a 3D space.

- **Axes Representation**: 

  - X-axis: Temperature (inverted)

  - Y-axis: Luminosity

  - Z-axis: Radius

- **Interactive Labels**: Hover over stars to see their names.

## Data Source

The star data is fetched from the following GeoJSON file:

- [Stars GeoJSON Data](https://dieghernan.github.io/celestial_data/data/stars.6.geojson)

### Data Properties Used:

- **Temperature**: Derived from B-V color index.

- **Luminosity**: Calculated from apparent magnitude.

- **Radius**: Estimated based on magnitude.
