This week #TidyTuesday explores the Astronomy Picture of the Day (APOD) archive. I filtered the data to focus on Portugal related images and visualized them using circle packing. #pydytuesday #matplotlib #dataviz

This week's #TidyTuesday data is about NASA's Astronomy Picture of the Day 🪐 I used the {eyedroppeR} package to pick out some of the colours found in the images and create a grid of treemaps 📊 Space might appear dark to us but it's actually full of bright colours! 🎨 #RStats #DataViz #ggplot2
A grid of treemaps with rows being months of the year and columns days of the month, giving a chart for each day of 2025. Each treemap shows the colours found in NASA's astronomy picture of the day, and there are quite a lot of bright colours shown.

Tracking the most common terms in Astronomy Picture of the Day titles ✨ for week 3 of #TidyTuesday. Code: github.com/rajodm/TidyT... #dataviz #rstats #ggplot2
A dot plot showing seasonal patterns in Astronomy Picture of the Day archive title terms. The y-axis lists frequent astronomical terms (fifteen most popular by month). The x-axis shows months January through December. Each dot represents usage frequency (larger dots = more appearances) and color indicates the most recent year of publication (ranging from yellow for 2019 to dark blue/black for 2024-2025). Notable patterns include: Geminids appearing prominently in December, Perseids peaking in August, and terms like 'Moon,' 'Nebula,' 'Stars,' and 'Galaxies' appearing consistently across all months with large dots. Annotations highlight the Perseids meteor shower peaking August 12-13, Comet Neowise's closest approach July 3, 2020, and Geminids meteor shower peaking December 14.

For #tidytuesday week 3, I tried mapping the most commonly photographed astronomical objects in NASA's APOD! I extracted the entities and then used Wikidata's SPARQL to fetch coordinates, which were mapped onto a nice basemap by NASA. Static image & more in 🧵 #rstats Code: aman.bh/to/tt-apod

📊 #TidyTuesday – 2026 W03 | Astronomy Picture of the Day (APOD) Archive . 🔗: stevenponce.netlify.app/data_visuali... . #rstats | #r4ds | #dataviz | #ggplot2
Histogram showing the distribution of distances mentioned in NASA's Astronomy Picture of the Day explanations from 2007-2025, plotted on a logarithmic scale from 1 to 10 billion light-years. The distribution peaks sharply between 1,000 and 2,000 light-years (labeled "The Nebula Peak"), where nebulae and star clusters reside. Five vertical reference lines mark key cosmic landmarks: Proxima Centauri at 4 light-years, the Orion Nebula at 1,500 light-years, the Galactic center at 26,000 light-years, the Milky Way diameter at 100,000 light-years, and the Andromeda Galaxy at 2.5 million light-years. A secondary peak appears around 10-100 million light-years, representing distant galaxies.

 How to Participate
Data is posted to social media every Monday morning. Follow the instructions in the new post for how to download the data.
Explore the data, watching out for interesting relationships. We would like to emphasize that you should not draw conclusions about causation in the data.
Create a visualization, a model, a shiny app, or some other piece of data-science-related output, using R or another programming language.
Share your output and the code used to generate it on social media with the #TidyTuesday hashtag.Explanation from the Astronomy Picture of the Day: "Taken by a telescope onboard NASA's Swift satellite, this stunning vista represents the highest resolution image ever made of the Andromeda Galaxy (aka M31) - at ultraviolet wavelengths. The mosaic is composed of 330 individual images covering a region 200,000 light-years wide. It shows about 20,000 sources, dominated by hot, young stars and dense star clusters that radiate strongly in energetic ultraviolet light. Of course, the Andromeda Galaxy is the closest large spiral galaxy to our own Milky Way, at a distance of some 2.5 million light-years."NASA offical logo

Luckily, it was a database that didn't manage anything /too/ necessary, but it was absolutely a mess. Lessons were learned! 1. Backup your data, and 2. Don't give interns “delete all” buttons. #IWasTheIntern
