# AsteroidTracker :milky_way:
A Java application which can track asteroids in the Solar System using NASA’s Open APIs
## What does it do? :factory:
The application serves as a tracker for nearby asteroids. For a given day, the application returns the closest asteroid there is for that day which is closest to the Earth. The user has the option to input a date and get the asteroid name, its speed, estimated diameter, and if it is potentially hazardous or not.
## Features :chart_with_upwards_trend:
- Allow user to input any date and get the closest asteroid for that day
- Get a wide range of data for an asteroid, including parameters like its official name, speed, estimated diameter, closest approach date and time, and also if the asteroid is hazardous or not.
## Working :nut_and_bolt:
### Data Retrieval :pencil:
The application will retrieve the asteroid data using [NASA’s open API](https://api.nasa.gov/api.html#authentication). In order to get data , the application will send GET requests to the specified endpoint using DEMO_KEY which allows about 50 req/hour without authentication.
