Informazioni sull’estensione

The high-resolution image is displayed in full width.
A small caption gives the title and links to the corresponding Earth Observatory article. Click to zoom-in, and click-drag to scroll around.

The latest entry information is found with the RSS feed. The high-resolution image url is found by scraping the article page. This is saved to local storage to speed subsequent accesses as much as possible.

Error on zoom: error in fetching the image may result in a blank screen when zooming, refreshing the cache should do the trick (Ctrl + F5 or Ctrl + Shift + R).

Disclaimer: this is amateur code, I barely know what I am doing

This is not affiliated with NASA.
