Loading data

The data file for this example (Data/sol_2016.json) is a JSON object that contains entries for several bodies that orbit the sun. It has the following structure:

{  "star":{...},  "planets":[...], // we only need the data from this array!  "asteroids":[...],  "tnos":[...],  "centaurs":[...],  "comets":[...]}

We are only interested in the objects inside the planets array that have an id property with one of the following values: p3, p4, p5, p6, p7, p8. This excludes dwarf planets and planets that don't have any moons. We will only use a few properties from each object. They are listed as follows:

"planets": [    {"id",  "name",  "diameterKm",     "satellites": [         {"name", "diameterKm"}     ]]

With this information, you can load the file and filter ...
