# 🚀 Space Calculator 🌌
[View the website >>](https://ghalbeyou6.pythonanywhere.com/)
Welcome to the Space Calcuator! This web application allows you to perform various space-related calculations, including:
- Calculating when planets are aligned.
- Determining the Schwarzschild radius of black holes.
- Choosing between predefined stars or custom star masses.
## Features ✨
- **🌍 Planet Alignment Calculation**: Input two planets and a date (or let the system automatically calculate future alignments within a specified number of years).
- **🌌 Schwarzschild Radius Calculation**: Choose from a list of stars or input a custom mass to calculate the Schwarzschild radius of a black hole.
and more to come!
## Getting Started 🚀
### Prerequisites 📦
Ensure you have the following installed:
- Python 3.x
- Flask
- Astropy
### Installation 🛠️
1. **Clone the repository:**
```bash
git clone https://github.com/sudo-arash/space-calculator.git
```
2. **Navigate to the project directory:**
```bash
cd space-calculator
```
3. **Install the required packages:**
```bash
pip install astropy flask
```
### Running the Application 🏃
1. **Start the Flask server:**
```bash
python app.py
```
2. **Open your browser and visit:**
```
http://127.0.0.1:5000
```
### Usage 🌟
1. **Planet Alignment:**
- Select two planets from the dropdown menu.
- Choose a specific date or let the application find the next alignment automatically.
- Click "Calculate" to see the results!
2. **Schwarzschild Radius:**
- Choose a star from the list or enter a custom mass in solar masses.
- Click "Calculate" to find out the Schwarzschild radius of a black hole for the selected star or mass.
## Code Structure 📁
- **`app.py`**: Contains the Flask routes and logic for calculations.
- **`templates/index.html`**: The main HTML file with forms and results display.
- **`static/`**: Contains static files like CSS and JavaScript.
