Great use of API fetch requests, this was a good experiment utilizing API's for different features. Also made note to catch errors if they came into place, used the open source documentation of the NASA APOD API to recall the names of the properties.
Will be continuously updating this project and repo in near future with additional media queries and fixing content spacing, to adapt this to any possible screen size without break points.
I thoroughly enjoyed the creation process, with finding a simple gif background image and a royalty free smooth jazz song that can be played from a hidden player on top of the page! I had so much fun customizing this project and really making it my own. I learned how to better use API's, navigate documentation, and better use developer tools in browser to analyze my HTTPS and JSON requests.
