New Media APOD-Related Content
We are aware of several "new media" venues that carry APOD-related content.Most of these are done on a volunteer basis and are not supported directly by APOD or NASA. In sum, APOD considers these to be mirror sites that make classic APOD content readable not in a different language -- but with different technology. Some of these venues might partially support themselves by carrying advertising. This seems OK to us and we have therfore given them permission to use APOD content as it seems to give a broader reach to APOD's educational mission.
Astronomy Picture of the Day (APOD) is originated, written, coordinated,and edited since 1995 by Robert Nemiroff and Jerry Bonnell.TheAPOD archivecontains the largest collection of annotated astronomicalimages on the internet.
APOD in general and the APOD site served from NASA specifically places links solely oninformation content and does not endorse any commercial product nor guarantee claims or sales made on any linked pages.APOD occasionally repeats images, in part to inform new readers the best of the older images. APOD occasionally reuses APOD text, in part to avoid restating a point that hasbeen well-stated on APOD before.
In real life, Bob and Jerry are two professional astronomers who spend mostof their time researching the universe.Bob is a professor atMichigan Technological Universityin Houghton, Michigan, USA, while Jerry is a scientist at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Centerin Greenbelt, Maryland USA. They are two married, mild and lazy guyswho might appear relatively normal to an unsuspecting guest.Together, they have found new and unusual ways of annoying people such asstaging astronomical debates.Most people are surprised to learn thatthey have developed the perfectrandom number generator.
