APOD - NASA Astronomy Picture of the Day 作者： Travis

very new tab becomes NASA's Astronomy Picture of the Day — a real photograph of
the universe, with the story behind it.

Since 1995, NASA has published one astronomy image every day, each written up by
a professional astronomer. That's thousands of pictures: nebulae, galaxies, solar
eclipses, aurorae, rovers, comets and deep field surveys. This extension puts
them on the page you already open a hundred times a day.

Your top sites stay in the top left, so the new tab keeps the usefulness of the
default one.

BROWSE THIRTY YEARS OF ARCHIVE

• See today's picture, or open on a random one from the entire archive.
• Show today's image a set number of times before switching to random — set the
  count in the options, and it resets each day.
• Click the date in the title bar to jump to any day back to June 16, 1995.
• Step through the archive a day at a time, forward or back.

• Save any image to Favorites and search back through them by title.
• Every image you view is kept in a searchable history.
• Move through images you have already seen with the Left and Right arrow keys.
• Download the full-resolution image to your computer.
