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.

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
