* NASA Astronomy Picture of the Day
cetus-nasa uses NASA's API to get the Astronomy Picture of the Day.

*Note*: If the returned media type is not image then cetus-nasa will only print
details & not try to set background.

** Features
- set APOD as background
- fetch information on APOD
- choose custom date
- choose date randomly
** Examples
#+BEGIN_SRC sh
# set currently APOD as background
cetus-nasa

# set date randomly
cetus-nasa -random

# set 2020-01-05 APOD as background
cetus-nasa -date 2020-01-05

# 2020-03-15 APOD is a video, cetus will only print details
cetus-nasa -date 2020-03-15

# change api endpoint & api key
cetus-nasa -api https://api.nasa.gov/planetary/apod \
           -api-key DEMO_KEY

* Demo
I just run some cetus commands on my computer, nothing fancy. I'll make better
demo videos someday.

*Note*: Cetus was restructured multiple times & these demos may not work on the
latest release.
