Eighty rare and historic objects -- like an Apple 1 and the Apollo 10 command module -- are brought to life on your iPad's screen, through crisp Touch Press design. Many of the items are presented as 360 degree rotating images, so they can be examined from every angle.

The items come from the Science Museum in London, and are presented by way of 14 interactive stories written by the curators. Warning, this is the type of app you can spend hours exploring. The interactive features vary. You can immerse yourself in the Apollo 10 Command Module, examine a flea with Robert Hooke’s 17th-century microscope, explore the Large Hadron Collider, or encode a secret message with a World War II Enigma Machine and share it with your friends to decipher. They didn't have social media in WWII.
