Finding Planets Backend API

Description

Nasa recently launched a new planet hunting telescope. I would like to create an app that lets users participate in searching for planets around other stars using their own computer.

• The most important feature is going to be the light curves for each star.
• Star name/index, distance, brightness, spectrum, metallicity, and variability are going to be important as well.
• A list of planets for each star will be needed for training and validation.

Set Up

• Clone repository
• cd into root folder
• npm i to install dependencies

Testing

• Use jest to test endpoints
