A space-themed image placeholder service.
Usage
Jamming on a prototype? Cranking on buildout but you don't have content images from your client yet? Drop the following in your markup and marvel at the wonders of the universe:
<img src="https://spaceholder.cc/400x300" alt="This is an awesome spaceholder!">Replace 400x300 with whatever pixel dimensions you like: 200x50, 1200x400, 240x240. You'll be traveling the outer reaches so long as the format is a number, an x (the letter "x"), and another number. For sanity's sake, both dimensions may be no larger than 5000.
If you'd like a square image, use a single number in the URL:
