Telescope

The NASA Astronomy Picture of the Day in every new tab you open.

Telescope - NASA Astronomy Picture of the Day

"Telescope" is a Chrome extension that transforms each new tab into an opportunity for astronomical exploration. Everyday, NASA uploads a new astronomy picture and Telescope delivers it right to your browser. Click on the image for a detailed explanation from a professional astronomer or enjoy the picture in isolation, details focused and everything else faded to black. Can't get the NASA image of the day? Telescope will display a random image from its bundle of high-resolution photos from NASA's library.
