NASA Cosmos Gallery

 

I’ve been watching one of the best shows on TV and following a “second screen” on Twitter, where @nasagoddard and @nasagoddardpix have been live tweeting NASA images during Cosmos: A Space-Time Odyssey (Sundays 9:00 pm EDT/PST on Fox and Nat Geo Channel on Mondays at 10:00 pm). The show is spectacular. The images are jaw dropping magnificent.

I’m fascinated and captivated and decided to put the tweeted images together in a Windows 8.1 app where I could enjoy the images and the descriptions that NASA Goddard provides on Flickr. The result was NASA Cosmos Gallery, now available in the Windows Store. (http://apps.microsoft.com/windows/en-us/app/nasa-cosmos-gallery/a97e5e15-7294-412b-a9f4-fb776b0cc234)

The main screen is a scrollable gallery with a large thumbnail and description. Scroll with touch or your mouse and it will snap into place and display the next item.
