Asteroids Dataset With Physical & Orbital Features
About Me
I am an undergraduate computer science student, interested in Astronomy and Data Science. I always had a knack for Astronomy and Astrophysics, wasn't good in Physics but in Mathematics and found Data Science, and Analytics interesting. Data Science was one such field which overlaps with several fields hence I opted that as my career path.
Dataset Description
The dataset comprises of 48 attributes, with a total of 1.3 million records divided into two separate .csv files as numbered (asteroids with numerical designation) and unnumbered (asteroids without numerical designation).
