Astronomy Picture of the Day

(This is an archived post from our old blog.)




We've had the APOD link up for a while, but it's worth a more detailed mention.

The Astronomy Picture of the Day website
is "originated, written, coordinated, and edited since 1995 by Robert Nemiroff and Jerry Bonnell".

And just as the name promises, there's a new astronomy-related picture every day.

The APOD Archive is a great place to get lost when you're supposed to be working. They've been putting up a new picture every day since June of 1995 so there's a lot to see.

Here are links to the above photos:

Great fun.
