AAVSO Light Curve Generator

The AAVSO Light Curve Generator is an online tool that allows users to create visual graphs showing how a star's brightness changes over time. By inputting data collected from observations, the tool plots the star’s brightness (magnitude) against dates, helping astronomers and enthusiasts analyze variability patterns. This visual representation makes it easier to study phenomena like variable stars, eclipses, or other brightness fluctuations, facilitating scientific research and shared understanding of stellar behavior accessible to both professionals and dedicated amateurs.
