Cosmic Data Stories

Cosmic Data Stories are online interactive resources for teaching the public data science skills. They are built on research-grade visualization tools like glue and WorldWide Telescope.

This is the base repo for all python-based Data Stories, such as HubbleDS.

Requirements

• Python-based Cosmic Data Stories now run on solara.

Installation

• Optional but recommended, set up a new python environment.
• Install pip if you don't already have it.
• If you haven't already installed it,

    $ pip install solara

• Pull down the cosmicds repo.
• Inside the cosmicds folder in your terminal,

    $ pip install -e .

Legacy Code

As of 4/30/2024, the voila-based code has been moved to the legacy branch.

To run the legacy code:

• Pull down both the legacy branch and set up a new python environment.
• In the cosmicds directory with the legacy code:

    $ pip install -e .

• You may need to pip install any missing dependencies.
• If you have trouble installing voila, you may need to downgrade your version of node.js to a Long Term Support (LTS) version (14.x or 16.x).
