"Astronomy Picture of the Day" (APOD) is a website maintained by NASA and Michigan Technological University that features a different astronomical image or photograph every day, along with a brief explanation written by a professional astronomer.
The images featured on APOD are chosen by a team of astronomers and astrophysicists from submissions and suggestions made by the public, as well as from NASA missions and other space agencies around the world.
Yes, anyone can submit an image to be considered for APOD. However, the image must be of high quality and have an interesting or unique astronomical subject. Submissions can be made through the APOD website.
APOD has been running since June 16, 1995, and has featured over 25 years of daily images and explanations.
Yes, the images on APOD are available for personal and educational use, as long as they are not altered or used for commercial purposes. However, it is always recommended to check the individual image's copyright information for any restrictions.
