API

An is a way for two or more computer programs or components to communicate with each other.

See Sky-Map.org and API

Digitized Sky Survey

The Digitized Sky Survey (DSS) is a digitized version of several photographic astronomical surveys of the night sky, produced by the Space Telescope Science Institute between 1983 and 2006. Sky-Map.org and digitized Sky Survey are astronomical surveys.

Federal government of the United States

The federal government of the United States (U.S. federal government or U.S. government) is the national government of the United States, a federal republic located primarily in North America, composed of 50 states, five major self-governing territories, several island possessions, and the federal district/national capital of Washington, D.C., where most of the federal government is based.

GALEX

Galaxy Evolution Explorer (GALEX or Explorer 83 or SMEX-7) was a NASA orbiting space telescope designed to observe the universe in ultraviolet wavelengths to measure the history of star formation in the universe.

See Sky-Map.org and GALEX

Google Earth

Google Earth is a computer program that renders a 3D representation of Earth based primarily on satellite imagery.

See Sky-Map.org and Google Earth

Hubble Space Telescope

The Hubble Space Telescope (often referred to as HST or Hubble) is a space telescope that was launched into low Earth orbit in 1990 and remains in operation.

See Sky-Map.org and Hubble Space Telescope

Infrared

Infrared (IR; sometimes called infrared light) is electromagnetic radiation (EMR) with wavelengths longer than that of visible light but shorter than microwaves.

See Sky-Map.org and Infrared

Map

A map is a symbolic depiction emphasizing relationships between elements of some space, such as objects, regions, or themes.

See Sky-Map.org and Map

NASA

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is an independent agency of the U.S. federal government responsible for the civil space program, aeronautics research, and space research.

Sloan Digital Sky Survey

The Sloan Digital Sky Survey or SDSS is a major multi-spectral imaging and spectroscopic redshift survey using a dedicated 2.5-m wide-angle optical telescope at Apache Point Observatory in New Mexico, United States. Sky-Map.org and Sloan Digital Sky Survey are astronomical surveys and Observational astronomy.

See Sky-Map.org and Sloan Digital Sky Survey

Spitzer Space Telescope

The Spitzer Space Telescope, formerly the Space Infrared Telescope Facility (SIRTF), is an infrared space telescope launched in 2003, that was deactivated when operations ended on 30 January 2020.

Stellarium (software)

Stellarium is a free and open-source planetarium, licensed under the terms of the GNU General Public License version 2 or any later version, available for Linux, Windows, and macOS.

See Sky-Map.org and Stellarium (software)

Ultraviolet

Ultraviolet (UV) light is electromagnetic radiation of wavelengths of 10–400 nanometers, shorter than that of visible light, but longer than X-rays.

See Sky-Map.org and Ultraviolet

Vandalism

Vandalism is the action involving deliberate destruction of or damage to public or private property.

See Sky-Map.org and Vandalism

Web mapping

Web mapping or an online mapping is the process of using, creating, and distributing maps on the World Wide Web (the Web), usually through the use of Web geographic information systems (Web GIS).

See Sky-Map.org and Web mapping

Wiki

A wiki is a form of hypertext publication on the internet which is collaboratively edited and managed by its audience directly through a web browser. Sky-Map.org and wiki are wikis.

See Sky-Map.org and Wiki

WorldWide Telescope

WorldWide Telescope (WWT) is an open-source set of applications, data and cloud services, originally created by Microsoft Research but now an open source project hosted on GitHub.
