If you’ve never watched any of the Wonders of… shows by the BBC then you’ll want to start there, but if you’ve landed on this page then I would imagine that at least some of you will have already seen them; good for you!

Check out our Brian Cox Wonders of the Universe app review to see if this is one of the best astronomy apps for iPhone and iPad users.
