# 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.
