In honour of New Horizons historic flyby of Pluto this month, this brilliant interactive space book for iPad is FREE for THIS WEEKEND ONLY from Brightpips.
Demo/ more information and download link is here: http://www.brightpips.com/books/space/
The demo had me hooked; I managed to learn some cool stuff very quickly. It's targeted for ages 8-80, so it's very easy to understand.
So if you have an iPad, iPhone or Mac, go take a look.
If you have kids who want to learn about space, now yours chance!
The book features interactive widgets explaining planet sizes, the vast range of temperatures on Mercury, the layers of Earth’s atmosphere, Moon phases, the Moon landings, the moons of Jupiter and Saturn, the life cycle of stars, and the scale of the Universe. It also features over 100 detailed popups covering the whole Solar System, stars, the Universe, and living in space. The whole book contains over 300 stunning high-resolution images as well as engaging video.
Lucky for people that have an iPad. Me.... I'm not one of those so I had to be content with the demo:tasdevil:.
Okay, I half lied :rolleyes: .
We do have an iPad but hubby refuses to put anything from iTunes on it so go figure, I even lost the good fight trying get with Sky Safari put on:argue: . Lucky I have my iPod and i-Tunes computer to myself :fight:
Guess I'll just be content playing it with my 8 year old cousin who has one and loves astronomy.
