Space News Applet

Are you interested in Space and its discoveries ? Don't you have enough time to follow the breaking news from NASA ? This new Application is made for you !

What is it ?

This new Application enables you to always be aware of the current breaking news from Nasa : Black hole, Universe expansion, Life discoveries... Indeed, Because of I don't have time to follow the space news, I wanted to create an application to follow the daily news about space.
Hence, you will be one of the first people on Earth to be aware of the discovery of a new planet which could profite an habitat for Life for instance.
This Application is made all in all for passionate people who want by hook or by crook to follow space news.

How does it work ?

This Application was created thanks to IFTTT, an online-plateform where you can create any application thanks to the process "if this then that".
Based on this formula, you have to pick any cause (in this application it's the breaking news from NASA) and a consequence (in this application it's an message from your smartphone).
This internet website is absolutely free as well as the application.

Here is what you have to do :

1. Create a new iFTTT applet and click on "+this" to select your trigger
2. Search and Select "Nasa"
3. Select "Get a notification when there's breaking NASA news"
4. Click on the "Connect button"
5. Click on "+that" to select the action to accomplish
6. Type and select "Android SMS"
7. Click on "create action" (without modifying anything)
8. Click on "Finish"
9. Congrats ! Your applet is now ready !
