Really need an Android version of this app.

[Bob Beddingfield]

Excellent App! Of course they can't roll out the be-all, end-all app for all platforms and personalities on the first go-around but this is a great start! Now people with an I-Phone who are interested can participate in legitimate scientific research. I've always wondered when I saw a meteor/shooting star if I was the only one to witness it. Now I can share it with scientists who are truly interested in the sighting data and make a permanent record of the brief event. Thank you NASA!

audio on these casts sounds as if narrators have handkerchiefs in their mouths and a mic that cuts out around 256 Hz. This is a bad one. It's a shame.

Usá el botón CC para poner subtítulos y poné traducir esos subtítulos al español ahí mismo. No es 100% preciso, pero bueno, es lo que hay!!!!

No, meteorites and asteroids are not the same. The former are only small stones that come of comets or asteroids same, upon entering the atmosphere totally disintegrate, it is very difficult to come in contact with ground. Asteroids have a body more big, and these if I hope that NASA has controlled!!!!

I need to get me a smart phone. If they have more apps like this, than it is definitely worth it. TY for the videos and playlists guys. Make my day less boring in my brain dead, non science mongrel's.
