It is so important to me to be able to view the beauty of the stars, the wonder of space. It improves my days exponentially. Even viewing them on a little app enables me to imagine the vastness and variety of the universe. Our tools continue to improve— the Hubble, now the JWST— no one knows what science may offer next to see, perceive, understand and experience the stars. At my current age, I probably won’t see the next iteration, but I plan to live as long as I can to see what’s next in science, especially astrophysics. Thank you for APOD.

The JWT has finally refined what the Hubble started, bringing the natural world into our computers and phones for all of us to see. I can rest knowing that we have finally been given a tool that is as much about art as it is about science. By refining our window on the cosmos, NASA has given humanity a view beyond compare.

The app offers 9 different widget options which I haven’t seen in any other app. NASA also offers to show pictures as a widget but only the small or large. It’s nice you can do a medium widget with this app. You can also chose specific pictures to slide through. Love it!

APOD is a quick easy way to get to today’s astronomy picture of the day and get it full screen with just a tap. Navigation buttons would be nice, if I forgot to open it for a few days I need to go to NASA for previous days.
