If there is not already one there should be a galaxy named the 'APOD Galaxy' to honour this long lasting and still looked forward to site. :D

PS. I fancy a piece of cake now. The saying "It's a piece of cake" comes to mind, though I'm not sure why! :)

Beyond, you are my favorite humorist here! But geckzilla, you are my favorite cosmic confectioner on the good Starship Asterisk*.

Haha, I'm jealous, Moonlady. I want that cake! I was thinking about trying to make a cheescake with a galaxy-shaped swirl in it.
There are more occasions to celebrate here! Please bake the yummy galaxy cheescake! :thumb_up: :clap: :yes:

A most happy birthday! Thank you! I have been a daily viewer for most of those 17 years. Your views are far better than my 8 inch telescope can provide. Great job!

Happy Birthday, APOD, and thanks to all -- writers, photographers, etc. -- who make APOD such an entertaining and educational site to visit. You've been my home page for at least ten years now and I always look forward to the day's new image. Thanks!!!

Observatorio.info site is worth mentioning also ... it's the spanish translation of APOD, and it's the only language in which is translated all the 17 years of APOD. They run the spanish translation daily and they have also good sharing and social tools on the page.
Congrats to the spanish people !

A galaxy-filled birthday cake! How you managed to construct that cake in an expanding universe baffles me.
Happy Birthday!!

PS. You may need some help blowing out those galactic candles, or a ludicrously huge black hole.

"with a nearly unchanging format"

Yes, it hardly has changed and I find the bold blue hyperlinks very comforting. Memories of the how all pages first appeared on the WWW.

Don't change a thing. HB
