About Brian Cox Wonders of the Universe
The groundbreaking Wonders app for Android brings together Professor Brian Cox’s Wonders of the Solar System and Wonders of the Universe books with the award-winning TV series produced by the BBC into a single interactive experience.
Take a solo voyage, jetting between planets, moons, asteroids, nebulae and black holes, or take one of Brian’s tours for a curated journey of the Wonders that surround us..
The app is as spectacular as the universe it unlocks, but also profoundly educational. It can be enjoyed on a purely superficial level – marvel at a Red Giant; gaze upon the beauty of the Lagoon Nebula – or fully immerse yourself in the related video and text to understand where we came from, how we got here and where we’re going as the destiny of the Universe plays out. As such, the app appeals to adults, teens and young children
Alike.
*** 2GB RAM 1.5 GHz RECOMMENDED ***
The content in this app is very highly detailed, featuring many high-resolution textures to produce the real-time 3D scenes. This requires at least 2GB RAM 1.5 GHz on your device.

User reviews
this app is utterly amazing.... if you are a cosmology enthusiast, or anybody else, this app is for you.
The Best App Ever
Videos are really interesting and the graphics are very cool.
All bugs I complained about have been fixed. Now it's a great app!
Works great on my phone and is nice and smooth. Easy to use and good content and video snippets from the series. My other half thinks I have a man crush on Brian Cox though.
Really interesting video content and the images are beautiful. The developers must have fixed the bugs from previous versions as it runs reasonably smoothly on my MotoG (which well below the minimum recommended specs) without crashing. I can't wait to see how it runs when I get a new phone, though...
