a question about APOD

If I'm free, I will read APOD everyday. But there is a question I've wanted to ask. You see, at the end of every passage, there is a link to tomorrow's picture. But if I want to see "yesterday's picture", I have to "search" the picture I want. So the question is, is there any easier access to "yesterday's picture"?

Are you looking at the menu across the bottom of the page? The arrow at the left (actually a less-than symbol) links to the previous day's page.

Hi Vivian,

Also, notice the Archive link next to the left most symbol that Chris is referring... that will take you to all the APODs since the beginning.

There is also this link that allows you to call up a calendar of sorts with thumbnail links to that particular month of APOD images

I would prefer the calendar to the archives list because it takes awhile for the archive list to download! The calendar downloads instantly. Both are great for finding past APODs.
