FITS is 30 years old today. In 1992, 17 years ago, I posted a Happy Birthday announcement for FITS to FITSBITS, because the format was a teenager, 13 years old that year. In that announcement message I gave my version of the early history and pre-history of FITS. Subscribers to FITSBITS who have never read that document should view this URL: http://fits.gsfc.nasa.gov/birthday.news It is a great source of satisfaction for me to be a part of the worldwide community of people who created this wonderful thing we call FITS.
