He is an astrophysicist associated with NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center and is widely recognized as the co-creator of Astronomy Picture of the Day (APOD) with Robert Nemiroff. Since the project began in 1995, APOD has become one of the web’s most enduring science outreach efforts, pairing striking space images with short, accessible explanations.
In addition to his public-facing work, Bonnell has contributed to astrophysics research, including published work connected to gamma-ray bursts. Across both research and outreach, his career reflects a gift for making big cosmic ideas feel welcoming and understandable.
