Look up And Wonder
13th Jul. 2011 :: Free NASA Android App


Hey All, NASA has a FREE Android app. You can find a huge collection of images, videos, mission information, news, NASA TV and other featured content. It is also completely free. :)

My favourite feature is Sighting Opportunities, which uses your phone's GPS to suggest when you may be able to see objects such as the ISS.

There is also a launch schedule calendar, I'm looking forward to Juno's launch on the 5th August (more on that mission soon).

About Me

I am an amateur astronomer; I am interested in science, innovation, astronomy and general musing about philosophies of life, the universe and our place in it.

I love to look up and wonder, and this blog is mostly what results from that wondering.

I also enjoy Paragliding.
