Step 1 - Scraping

Complete the following scrapes using Jupyter Notebook, BeautifulSoup, Pandas, and Splinter.

NASA Mars News

JPL Mars Space Images - Featured Image

• Visit the url for JPL Featured Space Image here.

• Use splinter to navigate the site and find the image url for the current Featured Mars Image and assign the url string to a variable called featured_image_url.

Mars Facts

• Visit the Mars Facts webpage here and use Pandas to scrape the table containing facts about the planet including Diameter, Mass, etc.

Mars Hemispheres

• Visit the USGS Astrogeology site here

• Use splinter to navigate the site to obtain high resolution images for each of Mar's hemispheres.

Step 2 - MongoDB and Flask Application

• Use MongoDB with Flask templating to create a new HTML page that displays all of the information that was scraped from the URLs above

• Use Pymongo for CRUD applications for the database.
