Second full day of @aas.org and the @skymapper.bsky.social and @setiinstitute.bsky.social teams are having a blast at booth 102 🎉

#JWST shows us the universe as it was - light from 13 billion years ago, mapping the cosmic web of our origins. It’s breathtaking. And it reminds us how vast and ancient everything is. But while it gives us the history book of the cosmos, people are writing the next chapter.

The @skymapper.bsky.social booth and team are ready for visitors at the @aas.org meeting in Phoenix, Arizona. Come say hi!

Astronomy is changing and the way we observe, collect data, verify and store it needs to change to keep up with the vast space above us. @allplanets.bsky.social talks on #SETIConstellations hosted by our partners @setiinstitute.bsky.social about the next era for space discovery.

Who's looking at the Supermoon tonight? What a great start to a year of stargazing!🌌

To @unistellar.bsky.social telescope owners 🌌 This is your chance to shape the early days of SkyMapper - the first #DePIN for space discovery. With #SkyBridge, your telescope becomes part of a global system, and you gain access to scopes around the world. One device. Many skies.

Happy New Year from the @skymapper.bsky.social team 🎆 Thank you for following our journey this far and here's to the new horizons 2026 will bring and all of us exploring and mapping them together!

To @unistellar.bsky.social telescope owners - now is your time to shine⭐️ The SkyMapper beta is live and you can turn your scope into a node in a global network with our #SkyBridge. All the while gaining access to telescopes around the world 🌏 One device. Unlimited observations.

2025 was about speculation. 2026 will be about infrastructure. #DePIN will get us there. Permissionless participation, measurable contributions and rewards tied directly to real-world performance build resilience.

Discovery doesn’t belong to a single hemisphere anymore 🌌 Canopus (A9II), Captured in Colorado US from a telescope in Chile, November 16, 2025 and Fornax Propeller Galaxy (NGC 1365), Captured in the United States from Australia, November 03, 2025.

We're thrilled to join the 247th @aas.org meeting in Phoenix, Arizona from Jan 4 - 8, where our CSO Tom Esposito will give a talk on the science behind @skymapper.bsky.social and our decentralized telescope network.

Satellite mega-constellations are now bright enough to disrupt astronomical observations worldwide. What used to be empty sky is becoming shared infrastructure 🌐

"Star Factory" Open Cluster (NGC 346), Captured in the United States from a telescope in Chile, November 02, 2025

Trust, built into the system. With PoSO (Proof of Space Observation), SkyMapper verifies that every image, every signal, every result comes from the telescope and SkyBridge that captured it. This is how we produce science you can rely on: not by asking for trust, but by proving it.

Merry Christmas from the SkyMapper team 🎄

Astronomy has crossed a threshold. The universe now generates more data than humans can process alone. This is why we built AI into SkyMapper at the infrastructure layer.

A meaningful step forward for how we explore the universe. Our partnership with @setiinstitute.bsky.social combines scientific leadership with a decentralized, global telescope network. We're working together to open space discovery to everyone, everywhere.

Proud of our @setiinstitute.bsky.social partnership combining @skymapper.bsky.social global telescope network with SETI scientific expertise opens continuous, AI-augmented sky monitoring to scientists everywhere. Science shouldn’t be held back by centralized access. www.seti.org/news/skymapp...

Can a single device open access to telescopes across the entire planet? Yes. #SkyBridge is the gateway to a global sky - linking you into a decentralized network where observations happen continuously, collaboratively, and far beyond your own horizon.

Detection of satellite (COSMOS 2485/GLONASS), Captured in United States from a telescope in Japan, November 20, 2025

In our most recent #SETILive #podcast, @allplanets.bsky.social introduced his latest project, @skymapper.bsky.social, a decentralized network of telescopes. Here, he explains what he hopes the company will become in ten years. Listen to the full interview: feeds.libsyn.com/462636/rss 🧪 🔭

Building the infrastructure to reshape #astronomy, strengthen space safety, and build a trusted sky for everyone is hard work. That's why the SkyMapper team works hard but also takes a moment to unwind, connect and make fun memories together 🥳

The satellite industry is scaling fast but awareness isn’t. With LEO growing more crowded, “lost” satellites and debris are turning orbit into a high-risk environment. Centralised tracking can’t keep up. We need continuous, real-time visibility powered by AI and built for scale.

Astronomy is no longer something done for the public but with the public. At DePIN Day Buenos Aires, SkyMapper co-founder @stefaan.bsky.social shared how a network of community-owned telescopes can deliver real-time space observation with cryptographic proof, decentralized storage, and open access.

Curiosity brings people together. Infrastructure keeps them collaborating. #SETIConstellations by @setiinstitute.bsky.social connects communities w/ real space science. Our CEO @allplanets.bsky.social has been building toward this for years: accessible telescopes now linked into a global network.

On Nov 25, asteroid Nephele passed in front of a distant star. For ~20 seconds, the star disappeared. That blackout let #astronomers measure a 100 km-wide asteroid orbiting between Mars and Jupiter. Quiet moments like this are how we map and understand what’s moving through our solar system.

Over 9,000 satellites orbit Earth. Add inactive satellites and large debris, and you’re tracking over 27,000 objects in shared orbits. All need to be located, tracked, and monitored to track orbital debris, clear traffic lanes and predict collision risks. We need constant eyes on the sky.

SkyMapper isn’t powered by institutions. It’s powered by people. One of our early beta testers is Tateki Goto who detected Supernova SN2025rbs using a Discovery-class telescope connected to the network. His signal triggered rapid confirmation across #SkyViewer, capturing the event as it unfolded.

Version 5 of the SkySphere main enclosure just came off the printer at SkyMapper HQ - lighter, stronger, and built for nonstop sky coverage.

@allplanets.bsky.social joined meaningful conversations about where innovation is headed and how SkyMapper is building the first #DePIN for space discovery, so anyone can help map all the sky, all the time, and unlock scientific insight that shouldn’t be gated.

#ICYMI: During a special #SETILive last week, @allplanets.bsky.social introduced his latest project -- @skymapper.bsky.social. The company is setting out to decentralize astronomy through a network of connected, personal telescopes. Watch the full episode: youtube.com/live/zbDWsEF... 🧪 🔭

💫 Every observation counts. Become part of the world’s first DePIN for sky observations and be recognized for your contributions to the first decentralized telescope infrastructure built for real-world, verifiable space data.

Running Chicken Nebula (IC 2944), Captured in United States from a telescope in New Zealand, November 16, 2025 #Astrophotography #Astronomy #nebula

Beth Johnson and @allplanets.bsky.social on #SETILive dove into the shift happening in astronomy: real-time, decentralized sky observation with verified data accessible to all. The future of observing the sky is global and open. x.com/i/broadcasts...

The @ukspaceagency.bsky.social’s new initiatives highlight a growing reality: a crowded sky can’t be monitored by centralized systems alone. The future of space awareness will depend on systems that stay online, stay trustworthy, and don’t have a single point of failure.

SkyMapper connects people on Earth so they can map the sky together. 🌌 Our CEO @allplanets.bsky.social brought that mission to UCSC, meeting with faculty and students to explore how our network can support outreach, education, and real telescope access across California’s schools and universities.

SkyMapper citizen astronomers are everywhere 🌏 Mapping the entire sky, one node at a time.

We’ve been invited to Innovation in Motion by Silicon Valley Magazine. On Jan 8, we’ll showcase our work to 200+ founders and VCs, and our CEO @allplanets.bsky.social will join a panel to share the mission behind the world’s first DePIN for space discovery. modernluxuryevents.com/innovationin...

Join us this Friday for a #SETILive episode by @setiinstitute.bsky.social w/ Beth Johnson and Skymapper CEO @allplanets.bsky.social for a deep dive into our global telescope network that opens the universe to everyone 🌌 📍 2:30 PM PST 🔗 www.youtube.com/live/zbDWsEF...

Our partnership w/ Akave Cloud redefines how sky data is stored, verified & trusted 🌌 Every telescope frame is encrypted, shared, and written to a decentralized global network for a tamper-proof, auditable record of the sky. This is trust at infrastructure scale. skymapper.io/blog/skymapp...

47 Tucanae (NCG 104) captured in Chile on #SkyViewer, October 20, 2025 Another piece of the sky, mapped together. 🌌

Every observation you capture becomes part of a scientific record that cannot be changed. 🔭 SkyMapper telescopes connect to our platform via a #SkyBridge and with Akave Cloud all data is encrypted, split into pieces, and stored across a decentralized global network. Safe. Accessible. Verifiable.

Space exploration is infrastructure. @airbus.com just grounded 6,000 A320s after solar flares threatened to corrupt flight-critical data. Space weather directly impacts aviation, navigation, and critical systems on Earth. www.cnbc.com/2025/11/29/a...

Supernova SN 2024ggi gave #astronomers a rare look at a star’s shockwave breaking through its surface but only because they caught it 26 hours after first detection. For events that last minutes, even brilliant science can arrive too late.

One sky. Many telescopes. Many observers. One mission. One network. The age of decentralized astronomy is here. 🌌

First light of a telescope in Armenia 🇦🇲 on the SkyMapper network. A 10-minute observation of the beautiful Great Nebula in Orion captured by SkyMapper citizen astronomer Vcachik’s telescope. Another strong observation from #SkyViewer and more sky mapped together 🌌

Our CEO @allplanets.bsky.social visited the HR MacMillan Space Centre to talk exoplanets and how SkyMapper’s decentralized network will accelerate discovery. Huge thanks to the @setiinstitute.bsky.social team for hosting us and giving us space to share the future of sky observation. 🌌
