Description
Every night, telescopes record millions of points of light. Most are noise. Some are new worlds. A few could come close to Earth. SpaceSift asks how often we catch them, and how often we are fooled. SpaceSift has three tools: transit lab, spectrum lab, and an asteroid watch.

Could you build this?
Partial While an interactive dashboard is easy to create, real astronomical data analysis for transit photometry, spectra, and orbital ephemeris requires specialized scientific algorithms and domain astrophysics knowledge.
What it would actually take: The backend needs integration with NASA/ESA exoplanet and asteroid archives (e.g., JPL Horizons, MAST), utilizing astrophysics libraries like Astropy and Lightkurve to perform transit fitting (BLS/TLS algorithms) and spectroscopic analysis. It requires specialized knowledge in observational astronomy and scientific computing.
