// baseURL is the url we saw ealier to access the APOD data
    baseURL: 'https://api.nasa.gov/planetary/apod',
  
// params are the query parameters we can set
// I am chosing the date of 10 February 2019 (when I wrote this blog)
// I chose HD to be true (cause why not :)?)
// Finally the api_key is simply the key we got from NASA
    params: {
        date: '2019-02-10', // Don't forget the quotations
        hd: true,

 // Essentially this will create a url that looks like this
 // https://api.nasa.gov/planetary/apod?date=2019-02-10&hd=true&api_key=KEY
