This project was built in 24 hours during the International Space Apps Challenge on 21-22 April 2012. The San Francisco location was at TechShop.
The idea for it came out of the Challenge called: Visualize the "All-too-Common Astronomy/Solar System Misconceptions We thought the title was really long so we decided to rebrand it: Daily Myths.This Trivia is our approach to make people learn while having fun and to make those Misconceptions go away.
If you happen to speak a language in which Daily Myths is not yet available (currently available in: English, German, Spanish, Chinese (simplified Han), Hindi, Arabic, Vietnamese) then it would be absolutely brilliant if you could add translations! It's easy! Just have a look into our google doc. It contains all the data that powers the app. If you run into issues or have questions simply file an issue in our tracker
If you stumble over a common Myth that people still believe and you feel like you have to change that then go ahead and add it! We always want people to become more educated :-)
