I started working on this mission: The main functionality of the site is fetching real-time data from NASA’s API and displaying it. Each day, the site automatically loads the space image along with its title and a detailed explanation written.
The JavaScript handles async API requests using fetch(), processes the response, and updates. It also includes basic error handling for failed requests (need to fix it next) and a loading state so users know when data is loading.
UI:
I designed a custom UI. A refresh button was added so users can manually load the latest APOD data.

Next step is creating the styling adding animations, and polishing the layout to make it feel more like a dashboard.
