APODViewerLite is the lite version of APODViewer (which provides even more functionality like offline favaorites, save to iBooks, searches, Push Notifications and more) provides an iPhone/iPOD Touch friendly interface to NASA's Astronomy Picture of the Day Website.

Each day NASA's APOD presents an astronomical image (also animations & movies) along with a description of the "picture" written by a professional astronomer. These images range from pictures of The Planets, Galaxies, Nebula to astronomical phenomena here on Earth.

If you are an astronomy student, an enthusiast or just want to view beautiful images and discover and learn about the mysteries of the solar system and universe around you, then APODViewer is for you. Never has astronomy been so easy and fun.
