See the stars as seen by the Hubble Space Telescope in the iPad is possible through an application developed by Victor Ruiz, a canary than 35 years he has been since he was 20 and working with the Internet through Lino Type, his consulting firm specializing in information technology. His professional relationship with space born just two years ago.
"I've always been interested in astronomy and popular science. In 2009 I had the opportunity to get involved with the project Portal of the Universe (www. portaltouniverse. Org), sponsored by the International Astronomical Union," says Ruiz. Since that time working with the European Southern Observatory (ESO) and the European Space Agency (ESA).
He says that "last year the idea of developing an iPhone application to access the portal from the mobile phone." He was selected to be programmed. Now, using the recent launch of the iPad 2 by Apple, the ESO and ESA have included in the free apps AppStore Top 100 Images Hubble, ESO Top 100 Astronomical Images and Portal to the Universe.
The three have been developed by Ruiz. "After the success achieved with the iPhone application, the Department of Public Communication (ePOD) of ESO and ESA saw fit to take some applications for the tablet," added Ruiz. The Hubble Top 100 Images, which collects the best photographs taken by satellite, reached number one ranking AppStore applications in Germany, Finland, Portugal and Switzerland, reached the Top 5 in 14 countries and selected as the new Apple outstanding implementation in 73 countries.
