Congratulations APOD team!
For constantly providing inspiration to, and keeping a tight bond between all amateur and professional astronomers around the world.
Personally I've been following the site ever since 2000-2001, but I made sure to download all the archive a few years ago (maybe now would be a good time to update it

).
And it's not all about "pretty pictures". There's much more scientifically valuable information connected to the images, links to comprehensive explanation wherever needed and on top of it all, the desire to share with everyone interested the latest discoveries in the field.
For all this i send you a big "THANK YOU!" and may it reach its 150-th anniversary
