Thought I'd post some pictures from APOD, since 2009 is The International Year of Astronomy and it's nice to keep the buzz going. I'd like to set myself a target of doing something once a month to keep the wonder fresh. We'll see. These are just a selection of some that I like or are of historical significance.

I have APOD as an RSS feed & love the images. (They come in very handy for graphics too - making lovely 'filters'!)
Thanks for posting these. :-)

They are great for graphics!

Is your feed into your Friends page or another site? I had a google to find if I could do it, but haven't come up with anything yet for LJ.

It doesn't appear on my flist. There's a button on the toolbar of my browser (Firefox) & I can clcik on that for a drop down menu of the latest posts & then click to open them. I think I signed up by clicking on the 'RSS' link at the bottom of the APOD site (it was so long ago I can't remember! Sorry.)

Done! It's on my Google home page now and that's on my toolbar.

I looked for it before, but silly me, I looked on the page where all the pics are hotlinked, rather the daily picture page.

Thanks P!
