nasa-cli

The tool provides a command‑line interface for retrieving NASA’s Astronomy Picture of the Day (APOD). By invoking the program with a simple flag, it fetches the most recent image, while an optional date argument allows downloading the picture for a specific day. The downloaded file is saved in the current working directory of the terminal session.

It is intended for developers or users who prefer working from the shell and want quick access to the daily space photograph without opening a web browser. The package is distributed via npm and can be installed globally, making the `nasa` command available system‑wide.

The implementation contacts the public APOD website, extracts the image URL, and writes the file locally. The project is released under the MIT license, is marked as stable, and includes automated build and code‑style checks in its repository.
