APOD is 25 Years Old Today
Welcome to the twenty-fifth year of the Astronomy Picture of the Day. APOD is still here, a source of consistency for many. To celebrate, some of APOD's volunteers recorded a birthday greeting and thanked readers in today's video. Many also highlighted a few of their favorite APOD images. These volunteers, in collaboration with NASA, help inform the world in many languages.
