These are some of the screen shots of my new software astropedia
1)List of objects in a constellation. For example when we select a constellation and click on enter we would get the list of stars, galaxies and nebulae that belong to a constellation. There are also links to stars galaxies and nebulae from here which might aid the user to view an object from here.
2)Here the list of objects are arranged according to a user chosen order. This figure represents a list of nebulae. User can arrange by choosing on of the many fields available. For example he can arrange nebulae by distance from earth, size,etc. It can be arranged both in ascending or descending order.
3)Textual information about an object is presented along with the object as the background image. For example Some information about Opportunity rover is presented here which comes under space probes category in my project
4)User can select an astronomical object and the details of it are tabulated. For example Information about Opportunity rover is given here. There are also button which when clicked will display the picture and information(text)
5)Another example of textual information about mercury. The mercury planet can be seen in background
6) Here is another example of the constellation module which lists some of the objects present in a constellation
7) Moons of the planets can be listed by this module. For example when we select the planet saturn it will list the various moons that revolve around that planet.
8) This module shows the information regarding planets. Note here the units for volume, surface area, orbital circumference, orbital area and mass are given according to SI units and they are very huge and difficult for a normal user to realize
9) Now when user presses the compare button in pic 8, the units are changed related to earth. Here the mass, volume, surface area are represented in comparison to earths and orbital circumference and orbital area are represented in AU(Astronomical Unit) which can be easily realized by a normal user
10)Lists the various attributes of a moon and a few data are represented relative to earth's data
11) One can select an object from a list of objects available. For example one can select a moon from a list of moons to view its data
12)This image shows the list of moons arranged on basis of radius in ascending order. This gives user more realization and makes one interesting to explore the facts.
13)This shows that user can select one of the fields to arrange objects. For example here a list of fields for a moon are listed based on which user can select one to organize data.
14)This image shows a list of moons and their various attributes..
Note: Please Click on the images to see even the minute details.
