Scientific Thoughts

The eternal mystery of the world is its comprehensibility - Albert Einstein

Thursday, June 16, 2005

My favorite website is 10 years old today. Happy Birthday, APOD :). APOD, which stands for Astronomy Picture of the Day has brought me countless pictures from outer space, and has both dazzled and saddened me from time to time. I still remember the first time when I visited the APOD site (quite by accident, I think), in 1996. I was using a HP-Unix 90MHz computer then:)). How things change! The computing power has taken a 30 fold jump, and APOD still continues to dazzle and sadden me.

APOD Editors (Courtesy: APOD)
Editors Robert Nemiroff and Jerry Bonnell are two professional astronomers who spend most of their time researching the universe. Robert Nemiroff is an associate professor at Michigan Technological University in Houghton, Michigan, USA, while Jerry Bonnell is a scientist at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland.
Hope springs eternal. Hope I can continue writing this blog for as long as I can :).
