GalaxySnap: Space Explorer

About this app

Bring the universe to your pocket. GalaxySnap turns NASA's open data into a beautiful, fast way to explore space: a new cosmic image every day, real photos of our planet taken from deep space, and the asteroids flying past Earth today.

✦ IMAGE OF THE DAY
A new image picked from NASA's library every day: nebulae, galaxies, planets and historic missions. Step back through previous days, or tap Surprise me for a random wonder. Plus a carousel of the images NASA just published.

✦ EXPLORE NASA'S LIBRARY
Search thousands of images from NASA's Image and Video Library. Jump in with quick topics such as Galaxies, Nebulae, James Webb or Mars, and narrow results by year and NASA center.

✦ EARTH, SEEN FROM 1.5 MILLION KM
Full-disc photos of Earth taken by NASA's EPIC camera aboard the DSCOVR satellite. Flip through the day's images or play them as a timelapse and watch the planet turn.

✦ ASTEROIDS PASSING TODAY
See the near-Earth objects that make their closest approach today, with NASA NeoWs data: estimated size, speed, distance in lunar distances and whether they are classified as potentially hazardous.

✦ ZOOM, SAVE AND SHARE
• Full-resolution images you can pinch and zoom into
• Save favorites to your collection, available even offline
• Download images to your gallery or share them with friends

✦ DESIGNED FOR SPACE LOVERS

Images and data come from NASA's public APIs: the NASA Image and Video Library, EPIC and NeoWs. GalaxySnap is an independent app and is not affiliated with or endorsed by NASA.
