Using the NASA Astronomy Picture of the Day API, this web app provides a new picture and explanation everyday. View NASA's APOD either by selecting a date or get surprised with a random one from history. Explore all of the informative descriptions, beautiful images, and breathtaking videos.

The images and descriptions are pulled from the NASA APOD API. Intro thumbnail image is pulled using an randomly generated date automatically. Dates generated by clicking the "Blast Off" button under the RANDOM tab range from 1995 → present day.
🚀 I refined my API skills by fetching data and elegantly appending multiple parts of it to the DOM. I also got practical experience working with date manipulation in JavaScript by ensuring that dates generated randomly are properly formatted to interact with NASA's API.
