The first APOD appeared eight years ago today, on 1995 June 16.
To date, we estimate that APOD has now served over 100
million space-related images.
We again thank our readers and
NASA
for their continued support, but ask that any
potentially congratulatory e-mail go to the folks
who created the great pictures -- many times
with considerable effort -- that
APOD has been fortunate enough to feature over the past year.
Many can be contacted by following links found in the
credit line under the image.
Some of these images are featured in the
above spectacular collage submitted by an
enthusiastic APOD reader well skilled in digital image manipulation.
She challenges fellow APODees to find in the collage her
favorite ex-member
of the musical group Tangerine Dream.
