The next installment in (what hopes to be) a continuing series, ASG! presents another "Website You Should Know!"
This time it's Astronomy Picture of the Day. This daily updated site hasn't missed a beat since it's opening post back in 1995! Run by NASA, APoD offers a new photo each day, each with a caption explaining a bit of our amazing universe. From nebulaes to galaxies, planets and comets, browsing the detailed archives of APoD brings a certain feeling of awe. The photos are (generally) of incredibly high quality. The images from the Hubble Telescope, especially, look so fantastic they almost look faked. Plus, they can make a pretty cool wallpaper for your desktop.
As a kid who grew up on books about space and astronauts, I had APoD bookmarked everyday to check in and see what the new picture is. Anyone who's interested in astronomy or just likes seeing cool pictures of space should definitely give it a look.
