Download the Entire Archive of Nasa’s Astronomy Picture of the Day with One Command

Nasa ’s Astronomy Picture of the Day archive is a packed with veneration - inspiring , high-pitched - answer range of a function of space that , incidentally , work great as desktop wallpapers . But NASA does n’t offer an easy manner to grab everything . Command - line of products puppet wget to the rescue !

Update : This post is primarliy mean as a unspoiled illustration of how you’re able to use wget to save time , but if all you want is the images , I put together this torrent . Enjoy !

A little backstory : My wife is a graphic designer working on a project tie in to the Griffith Park Observatory here in Los Angeles . She was looking for gamy - res images of space , and I make love Nasa ’s APOD archive was full of great images - but snaffle them all is n’t well-fixed , and clicking through the archive is tedious . So I turned to wget , a grumpy - platform command line tool .
