NASA’s Astronomy Picture of the Day website recently changed, and now I can’t get NewsBlur to understand or be happy about their new feed. Their site is now https://science.nasa.gov/apod/, and the RSS button’s link is https://science.nasa.gov/feed/apod-basic/, although that wants to download a .rss file. An acquaintance tossed up an XML feed on his AWS account, https://scotts-mess.s3.amazonaws.com/apod/apod_filtered.xml, but NewsBlur just spins trying to parse that one as well. Is there any way to get the new version of this feed working?
https://www.newsblur.com/site/10309788/apod is working for me. i redirected it to the same one you have listed a few days ago.
(for those following along at home, they snuck the updated info into an image annotation on an old repost https://science.nasa.gov/image-article/apod-2026-september-28-cosmic-latte-the-average-color-of-the-universe/)
Hmmm. That newsblur URL is accepted, but even when I set the view to all, nothing shows up in the feed, even when I click “Insta-fetch stories”.
Edit: when I encounter the feed “naturally” (e.g. after marking a previous feed as all read, so then NewsBlur loads the next feed with unread articles), it loads fine. Strange, but that’s how I almost always browse, so that’s fine.
