My own version of NASAs "picture of the day" but with the ability to zoom in without clicking on the image

Cool pictures of space

NASA has a "picture of the day" webpage. But the problem is to view the image up close you need to click the image to open a new window/tab.

My version takes this step away by letting you view it up close by simply hovering over the image.

This app uses the NASA API so in order to run it locally you need to generate your own API key.

Add your own API key

Step 1: Go to the NASA API webpage and click "Generate API Key".

Step 2. Open .env.development.local and then replace yourapikey with the key you just obtained.
