APOD Email Subscription

NASA features a different image of our fantastic universe every day on this website - apod. The pictures are very good and there is usually a very interesting explaination for each picture.

Visiting that page each day for viewing picture and reading explanination may not be possible. Hence, I built this website through which you can enter your email and each day you'll get picture and explaination in your email at 12:00 Noon IST.
