About

CelestiaQuest is a full-stack dashboard application that utilizes two of NASA's free APIs. The project comprises both a client-side and a server-side component, with authentication implemented using Passport.js for secure user authentication.

Features

• Full Stack Dashboard: Combining React.js for the front end, Express.js for the back end, and Passport.js for authentication to provide a comprehensive dashboard experience.
• NASA APIs Integration: Utilizing NASA's free APIs to gather and display relevant astronomical data.
• Responsive Design: Ensuring compatibility across various devices for a seamless user experience.
