Starship Asterisk*

Hasan Arous (APOD's RSS developer) reached out for an issue (a previous fix had been lost). I pulled the changes and the issue has been fixed.

The RSS Feed was updated by MTU IT in Feb 2023.

Judy Schmidt has pushed a new update upon Hasan Arous's bug fixes on Aug 20th, 2024.

I'm curious about this red Hα halo around Andromeda. Not to mention previous works, the following comparison has a significant part missing. Maybe the photographers can explain if this is caused by postprocessing (maybe DBE?). Image 1: https://ibb.co/cX6Lqnz Image 2: https://ibb.co/6N1c1Ny Sorry, w...

I see more similarities with NGC 4651 than with IC 2497. https://www.nao.ac.jp/en/contents/gallery/2018/20180306-subaru-full.jpg "...The jet-like feature is strikingly coherent and narrow. This feature was previously reported by Vorontsov-Velyaminov (1959) but never interpreted as a stellar ti...

Hi Sydney, Thanks for bringing this up! TikTok is definitely a different platform. It does not seek the same artistic concerns as one would have with Youtube which has pretty similar concerns as cinematography (however, not many do that but the people who do that succeed). 1) You'd keep the camera s...

Hello everyone, APOD now has an official and verified Discord server and Discord bot . You can join the server to follow APOD daily, you can get notifications daily so you don't miss one! You can also discuss and chat with others, just like here. APOD Bot is capable of many things that would make yo...

Update on APOD Discord server and bot: Three of the respondent developers worked together to develop an APOD bot. We have chosen one's existing bot and proceeded with that. Issues are fixed and upgrades have been made. Now Discord bot is available to: - Publish APODs every day within 5 minutes after...

We at APOD still looking for a bot programmer. You may also reach us through email: okayali [at] mtu [dot] edu.

APOD is now opening an official Discord server where you can follow APOD daily, get important notifications, discuss astronomy/astrophotography, and meet with new people. It is our hope that APODs volunteer-run community can create an APOD bot that publishes daily APODs. We at APOD hope to hear from...

Hello Hasan, These updates look great! This project is really coming along. I was watching the Flipboard page that I've created for the last a few days. For some reason at the beginning --after this message of yours-- the last APOD wasn't there. But now, it seems to be working properly. However, th...

Hello again, Ogetay! I updated the generator to do the following: add a list of dc:creator(s). It extracts them from the copyright line (photographer/Hubble/ESA/etc.) and then appneds both RJN and Jerry to the list put the image in the feed! (I had this extracted like I said before, but apparently ...

Before now, I was conducting my tests (and file generation) on my laptop, manually, then uploading the resulting files to the server — Now I set up an automated mechanism so they update each day within ~20m of publishing. (Need to verify that tomorrow morning!) Hi Hasan, thank you! Now, this seems ...

Source code: https://github.com/etabits/apodrss (MIT Licensed) The script was updated to also output other feed formats (Atom 1.0 & JSON Feed 1.0). The script is smart enough to link youtube's image in case we have a youtube video embed, it also goes the extra mile to fetch embedded vimeo video...

Good day, I volunteer to work on this. I should have a working feed for you to test fairly shortly. I will need some non-technical help and input from your side, about which I will get back to you soon. I maintain the [Arabic APOD mirror](https://apod.me/), and have some good understanding of APOD ...

This is a thread to create a new RSS feed for APOD. Currently, APOD's RSS Feed has some flaws. It is our hope that the APODs volunteer-run Asterisk community can create a properly functioning RSS feed. This is an important need, especially for the news platforms such as Flipboard. We try to reach ou...

In response to a valid criticism of the APOD explanation on APOD's Facebook mirror by Paul Schlyter, the text of the main NASA APOD has changed the wording "just minutes" to "hours". In this context, sunrise times include twilights like, for example, astronomical twilight. This ...
