 Astronomy

 Astronomy APIs

 AstroBin API - AstroBin is an image hosting website specifically targeted to astrophotographers. Its API offers a basic set of RESTful endpoints. Currently the API is read-only, and  allows you to get data about images, and perform basic searches.
 astrometry.net - "If you have astronomical imaging of the sky with celestial coordinates you do not know—or do not trust—then Astrometry.net is for you. Input an image and we'll give you back astrometric calibration meta-data, plus lists of known objects falling inside the field of view."
 Markarian Multiwavelength Data Center (MMDC) - Multiwavelength SEDs and light curves of blazars from archival catalogues and new Swift, NuSTAR and Fermi-LAT analyses, with a REST API, a Python client (astro-mmdc) and SSC/EIC/hadronic modeling.
 Open Astronomy Catalog API - The Open Astronomy Catalog API (OACAPI) offers a lightweight, simple way to access data available via the Open Astronomy Catalogs (e.g. the Open Supernova, Tidal Disruption, Kilonova, and Fast Stars Catalogs).
 SpaceXDB-Api - SpaceXDB is a website containing SpaceX launch information and telemetry.

 Radio Astronomy

 VIRGO - An open-source Spectrometer for Radio Astronomy

 Visualization

 100,000 Stars - 100,000 Stars is an interactive visualization of the stellar neighborhood showing the location of 119,617 nearby stars.
 ANISE - ANISE provides a toolkit and files for Attitude, Navigation, Instrument, Spacecraft, and Ephemeris data. It's a modern replacement of the NAIF SPICE toolkit.
 Celestia - Free real-time 3D visualization of space. (See also Celestia Motherlode for many add-ons.)
 Cesium.js - An open-source JavaScript library for world-class 3D globes and maps
 Cosmic Timeline - Interactive journey through the history of the universe, from the Planck epoch to today, with the physical values at each instant computed from the Planck 2018 cosmological model.
 Gaia Sky - Real-time, 3D, astronomy visualization software developed in the framework of ESA's Gaia mission. Runs on Windows, Linux and macOS.
 Harmony of the Spheres - Newtonian gravity and space simulator that runs in your browser
 KStars - KStars i
