Tired of boring old news from Earth? Consistently failing to make the scene on other planets?

The icon that’s missing from your smartphone is the Mars Images App – bringing you the very latest visuals from the red planet.

On Mars since 2004, NASA’s Opportunity rover has far exceeded its planned mission life and is still making groundbreaking discoveries, such as the recent ‘unambiguous’ evidence that water once flowed on Mars. Developed by computer scientist Mark Powell of NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, the app also allows you to browse older photos from the rover’s archive.

Free and available for IPhone/iPad and Android phones .

Mr Nally had been sentenced to six years imprisonment after he shot dead Johyn Ward, a traveller on his premises.
His conviction was overturned when the court of criminal appeal accepted he had not been allowed to use self defence as an argument during his trial.
The Irish Council for Civil Liberties has said new laws which allow homeowners to use reasonable force to defend themselves against burglars are misleading.
Under the laws, a person who uses what’s termed ‘reasonable force’ will not be guilty of an offence and cannot be sued for damages by an intruder.

Newly found clip of Dubliner Michael Keane accepting a challenge while on holiday in Spain in 2008 .

He’s not a pilot.

He’s not a matador.

He’s an Irishman abroad.
