NASA's Picture of the Day site down over certificate error

Original: The "Picture of the Day" site hosted by # NASA isn't working right now because its TLS certificate is for go-vip\.co ins

NASA's Astronomy Picture of the Day website is currently inaccessible to visitors because its TLS certificate is issued for go-vip.co rather than nasa.gov or apod.nasa.gov, triggering browser security warnings. go-vip.co redirects to WordPress VIP, suggesting the agency's hosting provider generated the site certificate incorrectly. Users are sharing the error online as they try to view the popular daily image page.

Why now: The well-known astronomy site is currently broken for visitors due to a misissued TLS certificate, prompting discussion.
