forecast can predict when your location will next be photographed by NASA's satellites. forecast is an easy to use, command line tool, with only a couple of prerequisites:
- Python 2.7
- geopy
- nasa-api-wrapper
Usage is simple: if you have a coordinate pair (latitude and longitude), execute the file with the option --coord, followed by the coordinate.
e.g.: python forecast.py --coord 51.511407 -0.116043
If you don't have a coordinate pair, forecast can generate one for you, from an address. Simply execute with --address, followed by the address.
e.g.: python forecast.py --address Homerton College, Cambridge, CB2 8PH
forecast will return a single YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss datetime: its best prediction for
when then next photo will be taken.
Be prepared!
forecast was developed in less than 24 hours as an entry for the 2015 HackKings hackathon at King's College London.
