Develop an interactive app for children that uses smart phone and tablet sensory to locate the Moon (any time of the day, even below horizon), which unlocks current lunar data (phase, distance, etc), and then presents the user options for reading a "Moon" related story, view space agency photos and videos, and/or fun facts about the Moon. The goal of this challenge is edutainment and raising awareness about lunar missions around the world.
Our vision is to see this app used in schools which will allow children to easily understand the solar system.
Education will go on a higher level.
The main problem we solved is calculating the location of moon even when it is below the horizon.With GPS the present location of the user is determined.This is followed by distance calculations from the user to the moon and usage of few math functions for calculation of the Moon's coordinates.
The user can learn fun facts about the Moon and the various Apollo missions organized by NASA.
