High-Level Project Summary
A website connected to NASA's API, NASA Image and Video Library, allows the user to search for images that were originally available in the API. A few images are displayed once the input is inserted by the user. The colors of the images were changed so the user has a unique experience when seeing them.

Detailed Project Description
A website connected to NASA's API, NASA Image and Video Library, allows the user to search for images that were originally available in the API. A few images are displayed once the input is inserted by the user. We extracted the meaning of the input text, and later we change the colors of the images so the user has a unique experience. We're also detecting objects in images, cutting them out, and merging them together. We had to use Python, JavaScript, HTML, and CSS to build the whole program. In a team of two, this wasn't an easy task, but we achieved the main goal, which was allowing the user to see the space as never before.

Hackathon Journey
We chose a challenge that we were not sure we could finish - For a moment we thought about choosing something easier, but this was the perfect occasion to get out of our comfort zones, so why not? The challenge seemed very interesting, and we ended up being able to do more than we expected - not because it was easy (it wasn't... at all) but because we did a lot of research while completing the challenge. We had to learn how to deal with programming languages that we are not familiar with, and several concepts which we never heard about before. Now we feel more confident in working with the tools that we had to use for this challenge. Thanks NASA for the opportunity!
