Inspiration

As someone who wants to learn more about our universe, I thought a website that teaches us something daily about our universe would be great. I also believe that this website should not only provide information through text, but through images as well to provide a better understanding.

What it does

Cosmic Daily is an engaging and educational platform that brings the universe's wonders to your fingertips. It presents a new and stunning image of space every day accompanied by an informative description written by professional astronomers, providing insights into the depicted celestial objects and phenomena.

How we built it

This website is built using React.js. The information is provided through NASA's APOD API.

Challenges we ran into

  1. I ran out of time so I wasn't able to create a landing page.
  2. I had a lot of trouble getting the NASA APOD API to work. The key for some reason wasn't valid.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

  1. I am proud that I was able to get this website together during the time constraints of the hackathon.
  2. I am proud that I was able to complete a project that users can use to learn.

What we learned

I learned how to use the NASA APOD API. This was my first time using the NASA API with React.js.

What's next for Cosmic Daily

  1. I will be adding a landing page for this site.
  2. I will add more features to provide users with more opportunities to learn.
