A Moon a day

Reading this Scientific American piece yesterday, I had four reactions:

  1. Amaze. Amaze. Amaze.
  2. None of them are even categorized yet, that’s going to be an incredible amount of work.
  3. That is one clunky, ancient website.
  4. I’d love to have a site/app that showed me one of these 12,000 pictures every day.

Today, in a surprisingly short time, I worked with Claude to make “4” a reality. No sooner had I previewed the website (one that made the stark beauty of the photos taken by the Artemis II astronauts the dominate experience) I realized these would also make for perfectly minimalist desktop wallpapers.

So, a new tool: An app sharing an image taken from space just a few weeks ago of the Moon (or Earth) every day for at least the next 32 years.

Truly awesome pictures to see.
