APOD was created by Robert Nemiroff and Jerry Bonnell. The Astronomy Picture of the Day is based upon work supported by NASA under award No. 80NSSC17M0076. Any opinions, findings, and conclusions or recommendations expressed in this material are those of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect the views of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.

Special thanks to my pops, whose love of both the cosmos and the writings of Carl Sagan doubtlessly inspired me to create this.
