NASA's Amazing Astronomy Picture of the Day!

Hey all,

Many of you have seen this before, and I did mention it in an earlier post, but I feel that its importance merits a post of its own! NASA'S APOD (Astronomy Picture of the Day) is a photography database exactly as the name says; every day, NASA posts a new picture with an insightful and detail-filled paragraph long description of what the picture entails. Before I took Physics in High School, I was on this site every single day, filling my head with the plethora of knowledge that each picture had to offer. Now, 7 years later, I have the website set to be my homepage on every computer I own! Even after seven years, each picture is as breathtaking and intriguing as the last!

I highly recommend setting APOD as your homepage, or at the very least to your bookmarks folder!

  1. Joe, this site is similar to one I found on geology pictures of the day. Aren't these sites so intriguing? Every day is better than the last, and these would be great resources for students.

    1. Vicky,

      Absolutely, I would love my students to get interested in this site even 1/10th as much as I am!
