So Jerry & Robert, does it seem like 15 years have passed? I'm sure folks out here agree with me when I say we are looking forward to the next 15! Keep up the awesome work!

Congratulations, and thanks for the daily inspiration. No matter how good or bad my day is, APOD will make it a little better. I shall raise a glass in your honour tonight!

Nice!

Thank Mr. Bonnell and Mr. Nemiroff for the time you spend bringing all of such awe inspiring and thought provoking photos. A few weeks ago I sent a link to a friend so they could see that days photo. She wrote back that she spent quiet a bit of time looking through the other photos and told me "this is an awesome site." It is indeed.

Congratulations & many thanks. APOD is the first site I go to every day when I log on. What an inspirational way to start my day.
Thank you for broadening our world.

Is there any way to purchase a print of today's picture that would be suitable for framing? I think it would look great in my office.

[Lauri]

Happy Birthday APOD! You're a fun site to look at each day! Thanks!

[Rock Doctor]

I have had APOD as my home page on all my work and home computers for more years than I care to remember. I just want to thank all of you for the work you do. It really is appreciated.

I don't start a day without APOD. In my relatively mundane existence APOD lets me know well, there is a bigger picture-- and I can say, Geez, girl, stop sweating the small stuff. HAPPY, JOYOUS BIRTHDAY--Many happy returns. A gogol of thanks!

[smitty]

Congratulations! Checking APOD is how I start my day. It puts my world into a useful perspective, helping me to better assess the importance of day-to-day issues relative to the grander scheme of things in the universe. Thank you and best wishes for many more great years!

We've just viewed your very first astronomy picture, and were so excited and encouraged by the apparant advance in your lifeform that we wanted to immediately send our congratulations. We hope you'll continue with your effort. Your passion for astronomy will definitely motivate your fellow earthlings to improve your world. If you receive this message from us, you will have been at it for about 15 earth-years, so in that case, congratulations not just on the milestone, but on every moment of your passion for astronomy. Thanks for sharing that passion and for a job extremely well done!

Realmente excelente, que no decaiga el ánimo, vamos por los siguientes 15 años
Saludos.
