Fox Broadcasting Company has released a companion app for its science exploration show called COSMOS: A Spacetime Odyssey.

The app expands and underlines the show's premise: the search for knowledge. It allows users to further immerse themselves in the scientific storytelling that the show embarks upon. It also features a Cosmic Calendar, which "visualizes the 13.8 billion year history of the universe condensed down into a single calendar year."

Streaming of the show is not available via COSMOS: A Spacetime Odyssey, but it is available via the FOX NOW app. Both apps are available for free on the App Store.
