See the universe form in the palm of your hand. Witness the formation of the very first stars, our solar system, and the planet we call home. Immerse yourself in the primordial mystery of the early universe in space and watch events unfold around you, in your own physical environment.

Learn about the microscopic building blocks that make up everything - and everyone - we know, and find out if we really are made of stars.

See the universe form as you stretch out your hand in front of your camera. Create the very first particles and atoms. Make a star explode, create a supernova and explore the nebula. See our solar system come together and hold the Earth in the palm of your hand.

Find out how we are made from stars, take a #starselfie and share it with your friends.

This app has options for subtitles.

Outstanding!
ReVerSe Revv

This is an amazing app! It is a short and accurate story of how our universe was formed by the Big Bang. It has a narrator and says incredible facts about what humans are made of and a star’s life.


Fantastic free, short experience you should try

Flippin AMAZING
Anders Patrick Nilsen

No ads, No skips, Just plain old simulation of the universe. (Seriously, the graphics are stunning, and the narration is amazing, Download this is you wanna get into cosmology.)


10 out of ten

It was a great app and I feel like they should make a vr one. They can teach kids so much about the universe


Works flawlessly

I learned about many thanks and it was relaxing thanks!


So dumb…

This was a waste of time and resources, seeing as this was more of a flex on AR than a scientific documentary. These are theories being presented as fact. Disgusted by this app.


Great free science app

I really like this app because it’s a great app for teaching students or anyone else that wants to learn more about space. I think you will like this app too because it’s free and there’s no ads to mess around with. If you like Science I recommend getting this great app.


Bring past to present

Unbelievable app to understand our universe, Thank for CERN and Join Tilda Swinton, we need another app like BigBangAR but on Evolution biology and life.


This is what we’ve been waiting for.

I’ve only been through the first chapter, but I’m already certain learning cosmology will never be the same. It’s amazing something like this hasn’t been created already. And Tilda was a nice touch. It’s absolutely amazing! I think everyone with a smart phone should download this and learn about our universe. Go Google and CERN!!!! ????????


Download this.

This is your birthright. The knowledge of everything. The story of our universe. Every of you have been exposed to these concepts, experiencing them in VR is still breathtaking. There’s a few bugs but this is an initial release.
