| 1 | +# Spacinfo 🌠 |
| 2 | + |
| 3 | +Spacinfo is a website which serves to provide you: |
| 4 | + |
| 5 | +1. The latest Astronomy Picture of the Day |
| 6 | +2. The latest Mars-Rover photos of the planet Mars, which are taken by NASA's Perseverance Rover |
| 7 | +3. Information about planets in our Solar System (some technical ones). |
| 8 | + |
| 9 | +### Spacinfo uses the following APIs: |
| 10 | + |
| 11 | +## Astronomy Picture of the Day (APOD) |
| 12 | + |
| 13 | +One of the most popular websites at NASA is the Astronomy Picture of the Day. In fact, |
| 14 | +this website is one of the most popular websites across all federal agencies. |
| 15 | +It returns an Astronomy image with a title of the image, brief explanation of |
| 16 | +the image and © of the person associated. |
| 17 | + |
| 18 | +## Mars-Rover Photos |
| 19 | + |
| 20 | +This API is designed to collect image data gathered by NASA's Curiosity, |
| 21 | +Perseverance, Opportunity, and Spirit rovers on Mars and make it more |
| 22 | +easily available to other developers, educators, and citizen scientists. |
| 23 | + |
| 24 | +## The Solar System OpenData |
| 25 | + |
| 26 | +This API returns technical data related to bodies and planets in our Solar System, |
| 27 | +like the equator radius, axial tilt, inclination, average temperature, density, |
| 28 | +just to name a few. Also some major information like "discovered by", "a small explanation |
| 29 | +about the planet" was missing, so I infused that locally with what I found on the internet. |
