   Explanation: Welcome to the quadranscentennial year of the Astronomy
   Picture of the Day. Perhaps a source of consistency for some, APOD is
   still here. To help celebrate APOD's Silver Anniversary, some of APOD's
   TVAoTaSMD have recorded a birthday greeting and thanks to APOD's
   readership in today's featured video. Many have also highlighted a few
   of their favorite APOD images. In collaboration with NASA through APOD,
   these and other volunteers help to inform the world, in most major
   world languages and over most major media platforms, of NASA and
   humanity's growing knowledge, active exploration, and inspiring
   visualizations of the amazing astronomical universe in which we live.
   APOD's founders (still alive!) would also like to offer a sincere thank
   you -- not only to our TVAoTaSMD -- but to APOD's readership for
   continued interest, support, and many gracious communications over the
   years.
