The website seems to be proxying content from other sites.

The content of the page is taken from : https://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap201125.html

The site is kind of cryptic, I do not see any "About Us" or "Contact" links. Who are they? What is the purpose of the website? Why don't you have a cookie wall, are you not using them or did they forget it?

So many questions...

The immediate purpose is probably to boost SEO (but for what end I can't say).

A wikipedia article about these type of websites : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scraper_site

The Site retrieving data via NASA API and not scrapping. NASA gives away this data for free to use whatever you want. The purpose of the site is to make a proof of concept for a personal project and the cookies wall and information page, as far as I know, are being built

Thanks for the explanation.

If the purpose of the submission is to showcase the website, I think it's better to submit it as a "Show HN" entry.

Thanks for the tip

Ryder?
