The new NASA iPhone app means that even when you are away from your computer (or telescope), you can gawk at nebulas and sunspots. NASA’s image-of-the-day and astronomy-photo-of-the-day collections are right there in searchable thumbnail grids. (We like the “nebula” and “mass ejection” searches.) Plus, you can e-mail or save them to your phone. It’s hard to think of a better way to get nerdy/sublime backgrounds than this app.

I don't know about you but I can't get enough space photos. This is one step that NASA is taking to get interest in the program and targeting the younger crowd. I don't know if this is enough to gain that much attention but it is a step in the right direction. I don't know what they could do to try to get the attention of people. But they are going to need it if they want to have support to go back to the Moon or to Mars.
