About Us

An open-source project bringing the wonders of space to your screen, powered by NASA's Astronomy Picture of the Day API.

Project Overview

Explore the cosmos through daily astronomical images

AstroVista is an open-source web application that leverages NASA's Astronomy Picture of the Day (APOD) API to bring stunning space imagery to users every day. Our mission is to inspire curiosity about the universe and make space exploration accessible to everyone.

NASA APOD API

Our application uses NASA's popular Astronomy Picture of the Day (APOD) API, delivering a new space image daily with a professional astronomer's explanation. The API also provides metadata and keywords, enhancing discoverability and allowing integration into other apps or social media with auto-generated hashtags.

Our roadmap for the stars

We're constantly working to improve AstroVista and expand its features. Some of our future plans include:

  • Implementing a user favorite system to save and categorize favorite images
  • Adding a community forum for discussions about astronomy and space exploration
  • Developing an educational section with resources for students and teachers
  • Creating a mobile app version for on-the-go cosmic exploration
  • Adding a Gallery page, where you can search by date and explore the entire APOD archive

We're excited about the future of AstroVista and invite you to join us on this cosmic journey!
