Hi Explorers,
after a long period of bounty hunting, I start to explore a little the Galaxy,
to help me finding famous real life place to explore inside Elite I've built a bot to detect them and generate a small wiki.
The process mix data from multiple sources
- EDSM (the community-based coordinates tool for ED)
- the Simbad database to detect real celestial objects (+ using a name resolver because some objects can have multiples name)
- wikipedia to retrieve some descriptions of matching objects.
Everything is in 10 languages (more can be add if necessary), descriptions are and more/less documented according to language (English is often the most complete).
Some data can be irrelevant because it's an auto-process and maybe some real data could not match exactly in ED.
I've focus my work mainly on Nebulas: 215 real object detected (HII region, Planetary nebulas, reflection nebulas, ...)
but got also nice data for Black holes & supergiants.
All feedback are welcome on this first set of data,
I will try to improve the process if there non-matching object on Elite OR matching but with a different type.
