The old NASA breaking news feed, https://www.nasa.gov/rss/dyn/breaking_news.rss, still works: NASA forwards it to https://www.nasa.gov/news-release/feed/. For the NASA Image of the Day, use https://www.nasa.gov/feeds/iotd-feed/. Below are 32 NASA feeds that work, from news and images to missions, centers and podcasts, all checked on October 3, 2026. Click a feed's name to add it to Feeder, or copy its URL into any RSS reader.
Does the NASA breaking news RSS feed still work?
Yes. When a reader asks for https://www.nasa.gov/rss/dyn/breaking_news.rss, NASA sends it on to https://www.nasa.gov/news-release/feed/ with a permanent redirect. The older http://www.nasa.gov/rss/breaking_news.rss ends up there too. These old addresses have 776 followers in Feeder, and their feeds had new posts this morning, so there's nothing to change.
What the feed carries has changed, though. NASA's RSS page calls it the feed of NASA news releases, but when we checked, it listed the same 10 posts as NASA's feed of everything it publishes: news releases, plus Astronomy Picture of the Day, Earth Observatory stories, blog posts and image articles. Each post has the full article.
| Feed | What you get | Feed URL |
|---|---|---|
| NASA news releases (the old Breaking News feed) | The 10 newest posts. Today it lists the same posts as the next feed. | https://www.nasa.gov/news-release/feed/ |
| Everything NASA publishes | New articles, images and blog posts from across NASA's websites, 10 at a time. | https://www.nasa.gov/feed/ |
| News releases only, via Google News | Only NASA's official news releases from the past week. | https://news.google.com/rss/search?q=when:7d+site:nasa.gov/news-release&hl=en-US&gl=US&ceid=US:en |
For NASA's official news releases and nothing else, use the Google News feed in the last row. It's a Google News search for site:nasa.gov/news-release, and it had 18 releases from the past week when we checked. Each item has the headline and a link that opens the release through Google News. Google News RSS feeds explains how these search feeds work.
What is the NASA Image of the Day RSS feed?
The NASA Image of the Day feed is https://www.nasa.gov/feeds/iotd-feed/. It gets one new image each weekday. Each post has a title, a caption of a sentence or two and the full-size image as an attachment, and the feed keeps about three months of images.
The old addresses, like https://www.nasa.gov/rss/dyn/lg_image_of_the_day.rss and https://www.nasa.gov/rss/dyn/image_of_the_day.rss, forward to the new feed. They have 341 followers in Feeder, and those feeds are up to date.
| Feed | What you get | Feed URL |
|---|---|---|
| Image of the Day | One NASA photo each weekday, with a caption and the full-size image. | https://www.nasa.gov/feeds/iotd-feed/ |
| Astronomy Picture of the Day (APOD) | A picture of space every day, with its explanation and credit. | https://science.nasa.gov/feed/apod-basic/ |
| Earth Observatory | Satellite images of Earth and the stories behind them. | https://science.nasa.gov/feed/?science_org=19791%2C22453 |
Earth Observatory's old feeds at earthobservatory.nasa.gov forward to the feed above, so they still work too.
What happened to the APOD RSS feed?
Astronomy Picture of the Day has moved to science.nasa.gov. Its old feed, https://apod.nasa.gov/apod.rss, now forwards to the APOD web page, which isn't a feed. Feeder last got a picture from it on September 29, 2026, yet it and its older addresses still have 63 followers in Feeder. Replace it with https://science.nasa.gov/feed/apod-basic/, which had today's picture when we checked.
NASA mission updates and topic feeds
NASA's blogs carry the running updates on missions. When we checked, the Commercial Crew and Space Station blogs had covered the Crew-13 launch and docking step by step. The first feed has every NASA blog in one place.
| Feed | What you get | Feed URL |
|---|---|---|
| All NASA blogs | Mission updates from every NASA blog, newest first. | https://www.nasa.gov/blogs/feed/ |
| Space Station blog | Daily life and research on the International Space Station. | https://www.nasa.gov/blogs/spacestation/feed/ |
| Commercial Crew blog | Updates on crew launches to the Space Station. | https://www.nasa.gov/blogs/commercialcrew/feed/ |
| Artemis blog | Updates from the Artemis missions to the Moon. | https://www.nasa.gov/blogs/artemis/feed/ |
| Roman Space Telescope blog | News from the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope. | https://science.nasa.gov/blogs/roman/feed/ |
| NASA Science | Everything new on science.nasa.gov: planets, the Sun, Earth and the universe. | https://science.nasa.gov/feed/ |
| Technology | NASA technology news. | https://www.nasa.gov/technology/feed/ |
| Aeronautics | NASA's work on aircraft and aviation. | https://www.nasa.gov/aeronautics/feed/ |
| Space Station | All Space Station news and features. | https://www.nasa.gov/missions/station/feed/ |
| Artemis | All Artemis news and features. | https://www.nasa.gov/missions/artemis/feed/ |
Most NASA science blogs have a feed at the blog's address with feed/ at the end, like https://science.nasa.gov/blogs/roman/feed/. Some post only a few times a year: the James Webb Space Telescope blog, at https://science.nasa.gov/blogs/webb/feed/, last posted on August 4, 2026.

NASA podcast and video feeds
NASA's podcasts are ordinary RSS feeds, so they work in Feeder and in any podcast app. NASA's YouTube channel has a feed too.
| Feed | What you get | Feed URL |
|---|---|---|
| Houston We Have a Podcast | The weekly podcast of Johnson Space Center, about human spaceflight. | https://feeds.megaphone.fm/nationalaeronauticsandspaceadministration1776343825 |
| NASA's Curious Universe | Stories from the people and places behind NASA's exploration. | https://feeds.megaphone.fm/nationalaeronauticsandspaceadministration8162188566 |
| Small Steps, Giant Leaps | NASA's engineers and scientists on how missions get built. | https://feeds.megaphone.fm/nationalaeronauticsandspaceadministration5360639309 |
| NASA on YouTube | New videos from NASA's YouTube channel. | https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id=UCLA_DiR1FfKNvjuUpBHmylQ |
NASA lists its podcast feeds at nasa.gov/feeds/podcasts/, and those addresses forward to the ones above. Any YouTube channel has a feed like the last one: YouTube RSS feeds shows how to find it.
Which NASA RSS feeds no longer work?
Most old nasa.gov feed addresses forward to a working feed. These don't:
| Old feed | What happens now | Use instead |
|---|---|---|
https://apod.nasa.gov/apod.rss | Opens the APOD web page | Astronomy Picture of the Day, above |
https://blogs.nasa.gov/feed/ | Opens the NASA blogs page | All NASA blogs, above |
https://climate.nasa.gov/news/rss.xml | Opens NASA's climate change page | NASA Science or Earth Observatory |
https://www.nasa.gov/rss/dyn/solar_system.rss | Page not found | NASA Science |
https://mars.nasa.gov/rss/api/?feed=news&category=all&feedtype=rss | Loads, but no new story since April 2024 | NASA Science |
https://www.jpl.nasa.gov/feeds/news/ | Turns Feeder away, so Feeder can't read it | Jet Propulsion Laboratory, in the center feeds |
Old addresses that still work include https://www.nasa.gov/rss/dyn/shuttle_station.rss (now the Space Station feed), https://www.nasa.gov/rss/dyn/johnson_news.rss (now the Johnson Space Center feed) and the old podcast feeds. If a NASA feed in your reader has gone quiet, Why a feed stops updating explains the usual causes.
How do I follow NASA in Feeder?
- Click a feed's name in the tables above, or copy its feed URL.
- In Feeder, select Add feed and paste the feed URL.
- Select Follow. New posts show up in Feeder as NASA publishes them.
Paste the feed URL rather than a NASA web page. NASA's pages point to its general feeds, so pasting nasa.gov or the Image of the Day page finds the feed of everything NASA publishes, not the one you want. How to add an RSS feed or website to Feeder has more on adding feeds.
To keep only some posts from the busy feed, like the APOD posts or anything that mentions Artemis, filter it by keyword: How to filter an RSS feed by keyword shows how.
Common questions
Does https://www.nasa.gov/rss/dyn/breaking_news.rss still work?
Yes. It forwards to https://www.nasa.gov/news-release/feed/, which had new posts when we checked on October 3, 2026. Today that feed carries everything NASA publishes, not only news releases.
Is there a NASA Image of the Day RSS feed?
Yes: https://www.nasa.gov/feeds/iotd-feed/. It posts one image each weekday, with the full-size image attached. The old lg_image_of_the_day.rss address forwards to it.
Is there a NASA mission updates RSS feed?
The closest is the feed of all NASA blogs, https://www.nasa.gov/blogs/feed/, where mission teams post their updates. The Space Station and Artemis feeds above cover those programs.
Are NASA RSS feeds free?
Yes. You don't need an account to follow them, in Feeder or in any other RSS reader.
