Watering and draining the Earth, and other celestial objects

What the Earth would look like if the sea level suddenly changed? And what would be the Moon, Mars and Venus with as much water as on the Earth?

This code outputs maps from topographic data of planets, where the color palette is defined such as the highest altitudes look like mountains (white or brown), the intermediate altitudes like plains (green), and the lowest like water (blue or deep blue).

You can check out the related blog post here: https://ahstat.github.io/Topography/ or directly see images in the outputs folder.

On the blog post, I also explain how to collect and pre-process data before applying this code.

Some outputs

The Moon with about 70% of the surface covered by water The Moon with about 70% of the surface covered by water
