NASA’s Astronomy Picture of the Day is a great source for nice astro photos and various other information. But it isn’t something I remember to go see every day, so I’d like it to drop in my in-box or an evernote notebook. But the feed does not include the image, for some ungodly reason, so I’m adding a scraper to grab the nice info off the page including the photo.
