# GNOME shell extension NASA APOD

Let this simple GNOME shell extension change your wallpaper every day to the
NASA's Astronomy Picture Of the Day. It will also show a notification
containing the title and the explanation of the image.

Tested and developed on NixOS, GNOME 47 (please, always refer to `metadata.json`
to check if the main branch actually works on your older GNOME shell).

*Disclaimer*: this extension is unofficial and not affiliated with NASA in any way.
Also note that some images might be protected by copyright.
