I am a beginner learning from tutorials and I am using the NASA APOD API to make an image gallery.
However, for some reason the images are not responsive when viewing on smaller screen sizes. The images goes off screen and I want it to be like a grid 3 column gallery.
Is using flex box the answer? or Perhaps using media queries is easier?
Apologies for the newbie question.
