Usage
from datasets import load_dataset
ds = load_dataset("juliensimon/cassini-saturn-observations", split="train")
df = ds.to_pandas()
# Observations by target
df["target"].value_counts().head(10)
# Titan flybys
titan = df[df["target"] == "TITAN"].sort_values("start_time_utc")
# Observations by science team
df["team"].value_counts()
# Timeline of observations per year
df["year"] = df["start_time_utc"].dt.year
df.groupby("year").size().plot(kind="bar")
