Who writes the APOD text?
A16: Robert J. Nemiroff and Jerry T. Bonnell have written most every APOD. Bob and Jerry are friends, professional astronomers, and were once office-mates at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, MD. Presently, Bob is a professor at Michigan Technological University in Houghton, Michigan, USA, while Jerry is a scientist at NASA/Goddard. They are two mild and lazy guys who might otherwise appear normal to an unsuspecting guest. Together, they have found new and unusual ways of annoying people such as staging astronomical debates. Most people are surprised to learn that they have developed the perfect random number generator.
