## Description

Start with a full week of Premium — no card. NASA's daily picture and a new Webb image on your Home Screen, 4K wallpapers, the whole Webb gallery. Every device.

Solar Beam is a free app for exploring the James Webb Space Telescope on your iPhone and iPad — plus NASA's daily astronomy picture and near-Earth asteroids. Premium is optional: unlock everything with a subscription or a one-time lifetime purchase, and it carries across iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple TV and Vision Pro.

THE JAMES WEBB GALLERY
Explore a curated gallery of Webb's most breathtaking images, straight from the ESA/Webb archive. Every image comes with its real caption, credit, distance, and sky position — the Cosmic Cliffs, the Pillars of Creation, Webb's first deep field, and hundreds more. Browse by collection — Nebulae, Galaxies, Star Birth, Our Solar System, Deep & Distant — or search for any target.

WHERE IS WEBB
A live status dashboard for the telescope itself: how many days it's been in space, its orbit at Lagrange Point 2 a million-plus miles away, and the astonishing temperature contrast between its sun-facing side and its supercooled instruments.

4K WALLPAPERS
Save any Webb image as a 4K wallpaper or full-resolution download — straight from the source.

WIDGETS
NASA's Picture of the Day on your Home Screen and Lock Screen, in every size — free. Premium adds Webb Daily: a different curated James Webb image on your Home Screen every day.

PICTURE OF THE DAY
NASA's Astronomy Picture of the Day, with AI-generated facts that make every image make sense.

ASTEROIDS
Track near-Earth objects and close approaches — always free.

FREE, WITH A PREMIUM WEEK TO START
Your first seven days include everything in Premium — no card, nothing to cancel. After that, Solar Beam stays free: the full near-Earth asteroid tracker, today's astronomy picture and the last 30 days, 60 images from the Webb gallery, 3 sets of AI facts, and the Picture of the Day widget.
