NASA Exoplanet Dataset

Lets go on an adventure through the mysteries of the universe. The idea is to create a machine learning model that can predict if an observation is a real candidate for an exoplanet or not. The data was collected by the Kepler mission that revealed thousands of planets out of our Solar System.

And how did the Kepler telescope find planets so far from us if no one can take a clear picture of Pluto from Earth? Well, Kepler was able to find planets by looking for small dips in the brightness of a star when a planet transits in front of it. It is possible to measure the size of the planet based on the depth of the transit and the star’s size.

The most recent dataset from the Caltech website. However, if you feel adventurous, you can use NASA’s API and do some web scraping out of the fountain. For now, let’s keep things a little easier and use NASA’s and Caltech dataset. You can find a similar dataset on Kaggle, the problem is that the dataset was uploaded three years ago and it’s not up to date.
