The problem Asteromania solves

We made the important data easily accessible to common man using NASA API. It can be used to get data regarding an asteroid when it is closest to Earth.

Challenges we ran into

Difficulties We Faced: As it was our First hackathon, it was difficult to implement ideas with our existing knowledge of code. We used NASA's api with huge data (https://api.nasa.gov/neo/rest/v1/neo/3542519?api_key=Qgb3WPqntDJMQnX4kLbYRtzvpTFjj4rBwY2nO43z#) to fetch Asteroid data, it was difficult to parse that data as application was crashing.

How we overcame them: We used Axios to create https requests, and our problem was solved. We avoided using NodeJS for the same.
