High-Level Project Summary
The project SPACE-Y creates a challenge: "What is the opposite of the opposite?". Is the opposite of the opposite always the same? The main idea is to be found symmetries and asymmetries of different objects on Earth and Space. When people look at the objects from a different perspective, this can give them a better understanding of the objects themselves.

Detailed Project Description
Definition: Symmetry is a feature in the field of geometry, equations, and other objects. We can say that the symmetrical object will obey the symmetry operation, when it is treated to an object will not change.
Symmetry can be seen in Bulgaria traditional dances.
Other examples of symmetry can be found in science - chemistry, physics, etc., see the "Exploring and Exploiting the Symmetry-Breaking Effect of Cyclodextrins in Mechanomolecules".
Let's see such ideas in mathematics. Every mathematical number has an opposite one (4; -4). But, the 0 has no opposite, or the opposite of 0 is 0.
In space, a lot of examples can be seen too. In astronomy, opposition means a planet is opposite the sun.
Another example is Mars. During opposition, Mars and the sun are on directly opposite sides of Earth. Mars oppositions happen about every 26 months. Every 15 or 17 years, opposition occurs within a few weeks of Mars' perihelion (the point in its orbit when it is closest to the sun).

Hackathon Journey
Not always the opposite of the opposite is the same. Such examples can be found on Earth and Space.
