Scatter plots with Matplotlib  I'm in the middle of taking a 6 week Data Visualization course at Code Academy  so I guess you might call this a midterm project. In this jupyter notebook project, we have use real world space data (celestial star location ) for the Orion constellation and output a 3D scatter plot. This was fun but because it is an intro course, the project didn't even get to labeling the actual star which I thought was bunk.  At the end of the project, they offer you a link  to some star data and challenge you to plot some local stars. So I decided to publish my results that I will end up turning in for the extra credit portion of the project. (code below) I picked a few stars, starting with some familiar ones, like Sirius, and started plotting it out. It took a while to get the labels on correctly, for some reason, I thought it was going to be easy but it definitely took some searching as the 3D portion of it made finding the examples far more challen
