Some exploration and Light Curve ingestion

first dev log :hii:

lightkurve library

so i spent some of the time messing around with this library exploring and plotting random things, this library can fetch public data from telescope missions like Kepler, K2, and TESS and it makes getting that data and normalising some values a bit easy so i tested those things
and i plotted this in matplotlib this is one light curve of Kepler-8, you can see the gap in the data that MIGHT be an exoplanet lmao, who knows

ingestion script

so i will make different scripts for differnet stuff and make a single pipeline later ig, the current script runs like:

python ingest.py --star "KIC 6922244" --output lightcurve.json

it takes the star name output as file name or json output in stdin, and then it downloads a HUGE file (check screenshot lightcurve.json) full of the timestamp and flux values (which are basically brightness of the star at that timestamp)

further analysis will be done on the output of ts script.
