NASA’s Astronomy Picture of the Day (APOD) provides a daily image or photograph of the universe, accompanied by an explanation from a professional astronomer. On August 9, 2026, APOD will feature an image intended to allow viewers to ‘Contemplate the Sun.’
The APOD program aims to ‘Discover the cosmos!’ by presenting a new cosmic image each day. The featured images span a wide range of astronomical phenomena and objects.
According to NASA, each daily entry includes not only the visual element but also a brief explanation written by a professional astronomer, providing context and insight into the depicted subject matter. An archive of past APOD entries is available for public access, along with submission guidelines and search functionality.
We don't rate truth. We strip the spin and show you which perspectives covered the story. You decide.
