We celebrate the first ten years of the AstroPAH Newsletter by giving an overview of the scientific advances in the field of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in astronomical environments that have been disseminated through the AstroPAH newsletter. This overview comprises ten chapters – each of which comprising subsections focused on observations, experiments, theory, and modeling – dedicated to subjects such as infrared emission, ultraviolet processing, dust, H2 formation, galaxies, dark molecular clouds, Herbig Ae/Be stars and protoplanetary disks, solar system objects, the diffuse interstellar bands, and the anomalous microwave emission.
