The Near Earth Comets Dataset loaded and parsed as CSV.

Details: The table below provides J2000 heliocentric ecliptic orbital elements for 170 NECs (Near-Earth Comets) sorted by object number/name.

Columns:

  • Object
  • Epoch (TDB)
  • TP (TDB)
  • e
  • i (deg)
  • w (deg)
  • Node (deg)
  • q (AU)
  • Q (AU)
  • P (yr)
  • MOID (AU)
  • A1 (AU/d^2)
  • A2 (AU/d^2)
  • A3 (AU/d^2)
  • DT (d)
  • Ref
  • Object Name

Tasks:

  1. Show the relative shapes of the orbits.
  2. Show the relative sizes of the orbits.
  3. Show the length of time for an orbit.
  4. Represent the correlation between size, shape, and duration of orbits.
  5. I want to show subsets of the comets based on farthest distance from the Sun.
