Description Kat Pavlu 2025-06-10 13:52:40 UTC

SUMMARY
Earth Science POTD does not load. The wallpaper is solid black and there is no description loaded in the UI.

Possible cause: today's EPOD post includes more than one picture (https://epod.usra.edu), although I remember this being broken on other days too. Probably worth it to recheck tomorrow.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Set Earth Science (USRA) Picture of the day wallpaper

Can confirm.

Given the ongoing political turmoil in USA government agencies, I would suspect we can't count on the this provider working well going forward, and recommend removing it.
