Astroviewer

Small example app to showcase my Android dev skills.

Astroviewer allows you to view pictures that the NASA Astronomy Picture of the Day web service provides. Each day a different image or photograph of our fascinating universe is featured, along with a brief explanation written by a professional astronomer, as they say.
