+The project utilizes a synthetic dataset representing various celestial bodies and their potential mining sites. It is synthetic and simulates real-world space mining scenarios. Here's a breakdown of the dataset structure:
+
+| Column | Description |
+|--------------------|--------------------------------------------------|
+| Celestial Body | Name of the celestial object (e.g., Moon, Mars) |
+| Mineral Composition | Percentage of minerals such as Iron, Nickel, etc.|
+| Estimated Value | Economic value of the mining site (in billions) |
+| Sustainability Index| Measures the sustainability of mining operations|
+| Efficiency Index | Overall mining efficiency at the site |
+| Distance from Earth | Distance of the celestial body from Earth (in km)|
 
-- Celestial Body
-- Mineral Composition (Iron %, Nickel %, Water/Ice %)
-- Estimated Value (Billions USD)
-- Sustainability Index
-- Efficiency Index
-- Distance from Earth (Million km)
