We aim to to develop a tool that allows users to explore how the shape of an asteroid affects the appearance of its light curve. We here try to demonstrate some of the parameters of the trojan asteroids like the light curve, power density spectrum etc. Using the data obtained from various open sources. Our team attempted to build a tool for exploring the light curve based on shape innovatively and interactively. We created simulations of the asteroids. One can gain knowledge by exploring the simulation using simple mouse moments on the website. You will get to meet different solar system similar to ours yet different.
We tried to demonstrate the trojan asteroids of a planetary system that we call "Hakkuna Mattata System". Lucy: The First Mission ever attempt to explore the trojan asteroids.
Our team attempted to build a tool for exploring the light curve based on shape innovatively and interactively. Though asteroids are nonluminous objects, due to sunlight they reflect light to the ground and space telescope. We took the challenge to create all possible tools to explore the light curve. We created simulations of the asteroids. One can gain knowledge by exploring the simulation using simple mouse moments on the website. You will get to meet different solar system similar to ours yet different. it can be used for Analysis of the shape of the asteroid from the photons detected by photometry detector using any near by space telescope.

1. We started simulation with JHT's Planetary Pixel Emporium. link-http://planetpixelemporium.com/planets.html
2. After creating earth, Sun, Jupyter, we used NASA 3D models, link- https://nasa3d.arc.nasa.gov/models
3. To create the new type of asteroid we used the obj files to create shapes from JPL NASA Shapes, link-https://nasa3d.arc.nasa.gov/models
It was a wonderful experience working with like minded peers. This was a sweet journey trying to explore new software, coding languages and the physics of asteroids. In short, we loved it and we would like to participate in further events.

This project has been submitted for consideration during the Judging process.
From Earth, the Trojan asteroids appear to be single points of light; their light curves—the way their observed brightness varies with time—are one of the few clues available to scientists working to determine the shapes of these distant bodies. Your challenge is to design a tool that allows users to explore how the shape of an asteroid affects the appearance of its light curve.
