Project Description

Space and astronomy has been an interest I've had since I was a kid, but I never really managed to find good web platforms to be able to explore the imagery and data that is so readily available. Those platforms I did find were either dated, too complex, broken, or all of the above. I built Stargazer to try and solve this problem, not just for myself, but for everyone else like me who has experienced the same frustration.

Using Stargazer, you can explore three APIs built by NASA and their teams: Astronomy Picture of the Day (APOD), Earth Polychromatic Imaging Camera (EPIC), and Near Earth Objects Web Service (NeoWs). These APIs provide a wealth of imagery, data, and facts about space and astronomy for anyone to explore.
