These false-color images of a hurricane swirling around Saturn’s north pole can now be found in our Cassini HD app for iPad. Download our newest update in the iTunes store for more stunning images of Saturn and its moons.

Some of the new views of Saturn’s moons now available in our Cassini HD for iPad update in iTunes.

We’ve just added new images to our Cassini HD for iPad app. Look for the new update in the ITunes store for these and many more beautiful photos of Saturn and its moons.

If you found an iPad under the tree or an iTunes gift card in your stocking, make the most of it by getting over 850 images just as beautiful as these in our Cassini HD app for iPad. Or Angry Birds. That’s fun too.

Just the right size to carry most tablets (or even some old-school paper books), these bucket bags are available from my Thinx Shop.

‘Tis the season to imbibe. Drink smart with barware from the Thinx Shop.

Some new moons for Monday. There are more stunning images of Titan (and other moons) in the new update for our Cassini HD app for iPad which is available now. We’ve even added a whole new moon: the egg-shaped Methone recently captured by the probe for the first time. 

These are just a few of the new images we’ve added to our app Cassini HD for iPad in our new update available today. 

With the holiday season soon approaching, I’m excited to announce my new Cafe Press store opening today. It’s filled with t-shirts, mugs, bags and other fun stuff I’ve designed. Check it out for all kinds of “smart” gift ideas.

If you can’t find something for that special somebody there, I’ve also created an Amazon store filled with many of the items and artists I’ve featured on my blog. Happy shopping and enjoy the holidays!

Planetary pillows by DQtrs

About the collection:

The heavens is the inspiration for these pillows that give a sense of timeless wonder we have been pondering since we looked above.

NASA launched the Cassini orbiter on October 15, 1997, to explore Saturn, its rings, and system of moons. Fifteen years later, it’s still thrilling the world with wonderfully impossible images from a billion miles away. Thinx is honoring this anniversary by offering its Cassini HD iPad app for half price, just $0.99. Featuring more than 840 stunning images, Cassini HD is the perfect way to see the greatest highlights of this amazing mission.

While selecting images to include in our Cassini HD app I came across some great gifs. Unfortunately, I couldn’t include them in the app, so I’ll be posting them here instead.

Cassini HD - Explore Saturn Via iPad

Our very own science/art Tumblrer staceythinx has been hard at work designing the Cassini HD iPad app, available Sept. 15 in the iTunes store (that’s tomorrow!). It will be free for the first day, by the way (I’ll add the link when it goes live).

I’ve had a chance to play with the app, and it’s really something special. NASA’s Cassini mission has provided us with what I think is the greatest catalogue of planetary images from our solar system. Saturn is such a visually striking celestial body, and exploring its moons and rings via photography gives us the ability to take a digital rocket tour with just a single click.

The Cassini HD app delivers more than just pretty pictures, of course. Tap an image to find out the science behind each photo, and any of them can be shared on Tumblr, Twitter, Facebook, etc. right in the app. The philosophy behind this project, and Stacey’s Tumblr, is making knowledge beautiful. Mission accomplished!

I give it a rating of 10 rings out of 10. Go get it tomorrow!

I’m absolutely delighted that jtotheizzoe of It’s Okay To Be Smart likes our app! I really hope you will too. You can try it for free today and please let us know what you think!

Today is the day: Cassini HD, our first app for iPad, is finally available in the App Store! Be sure and get it today at the special price of FREE (regularly $1.99). Most important of all, be sure and leave feedback on iTunes — we want to hear what you think. Happy discovering!
