User reviews

I really enjoy the variety of pictures it shows. It's just images of stars or nebulae, there are skyscapes from the surface of Mars and plenty from Earth as well.

Love the extension. It shows new pics everyday, with an optional commentary on the pic. Helps me start the day with a brief tryst with my first love every single day.
