A minimal, animated UI for NASA’s Astronomy Picture of the Day.
A sleek and animated single-page React application that displays NASA’s Astronomy Picture of the Day using the official APOD API.
The focus is on visual clarity, smooth motion, and presenting cosmic imagery in a clean and modern format.
- Fetches daily astronomy images from NASA APOD API
- Animated title, date, and description
- Smooth image transitions and visual focus on content
- Responsive and minimal UI layout
- No backend — pure frontend built with React
- React — core framework for building the UI
- NASA APOD API — api.nasa.gov for fetching daily astronomy images and metadata
- react-bits — for declarative animation effects (text and layout)
- CSS Modules — for styling
This project was created as a frontend experiment with external data sources, animation libraries, and visual storytelling.
It explores how minimal interfaces can deliver engaging experiences using real-world APIs.
