Another good reason for researchers to order iPhones on their grant money accounts.
This app should be spawned on other mobile os’s as well.

Put on the android market
But I’ve only ever seen 5 (So far) in my entire life and I’m 39!
Still getting it though 🙂
The “fireball” you show at 0:30 has long ago been identified as an airplane contrail in the sunset.

lol lie down in outside when am star gazing?! i’ll wait for the winter to pass first
@Morrgore hehe.. i know the problem.
i grew up on the countryside (more or less) and there were plenty of stars in the sky. i used to stand outside and watch for asteroids every now and then and normally i didn’t have to wait longer than a few minutes until i saw one.
since i’m living in the city (over 10 years) i haven’t seen a single one.. =/
i need to pay more attention to the sky when i’m on my next snowboard-holidays in the mountains..
i like this app, will there be for the blackberry??
How much will NASA pay me?? =D
Alright i’ll give it a try. I live in the middle of nowhere downunder and regularly like to lay on my trampoline in the summer with my girlfriend. I can’t say I have seen many meteors in quite some time. but i’ve seen tons of satelites and tumbling spacejunk. the iss is impressive.
What about the most popular system which is android?
meteoroids are scientists cover-up story to hide the landing of alien spaceships into our world… wake up people!
Can you make an android version? You’ll appeal to a much larger market.
@gtojoe04 I’m sure it will run great on the Android tablet.… where can I buy one?
