The first-ever NASA/JPL iPhone application, Space Images
<http://bit.ly/e2yy4y>, has reached 500,000 downloads, just as JPL
prepares to release its newest version of the free app. Space Images
features breathtaking views of Earth, the solar system and the universe
beyond.

Soon after its release in January 2010, Space Images was selected as a
"Staff Favorite" in iTunes and quickly became a top app in the Education
category. It has since received praise from users for its extensive and
stunning collection of images taken by NASA/JPL spacecraft and for its
educational uses.

The new version, Space Images 2.0, optimized for iPad and iPhone 4,
brings even more stellar photos to viewers' fingertips, plus videos,
Facebook and Twitter connectivity, and a new format that makes it easier
to browse through photos at a higher resolution. It will be available in
the iTunes Store this spring.

Droid more your style? Space Images 2.0 for Android devices is coming soon.
