Today's students are tomorrow's explorers. SkyMapper CEO @allplanets.bsky.social spoke with @setiinstitute.bsky.social REU students about our network, citizen science, and why some of the biggest breakthroughs begin by thinking differently. Here's to the next generation of space innovators. 🌌

How do you photograph a planet hidden by its own star? 🌌 SkyMapper CEO @allplanets.bsky.social joins #SETILive to explore how the Roman Space Telescope's Coronagraph could make it possible, and what that means for the future of exoplanet discovery. www.youtube.com/watch?v=e42Z...

SkyMapper has officially joined the NVIDIA Inception program. Excited to continue advancing AI-powered astronomy alongside a global community of innovators. 🌌

Real-time sky observations. Intelligent detection. A growing global network. Experience it yourself. Create a free SkyMapper account today and get 12 observation credits (1.2 hours) to access our global telescope network. Start exploring the sky. 🌌

A spent Falcon 9 upper stage is expected to impact the Moon on August 5, turning an unintended event into a rare scientific opportunity. 🌕 With SkyMapper, more eyes on the sky means more data to help capture and validate what happens next. www.newsweek.com/elon-musk-sp...

When something happens overhead, you should be able to trust what you're seeing. SkySphere delivers real-time sky alerts and trusted observations. Late Pledges are now live on Kickstarter. 🌌

Sometimes astronomy and ornithology have more in common than you'd think. 🐦🌌 You point a SkySphere at the sky expecting satellites or meteors... ...and end up spotting an unexpected visitor that's definitely not a UAP. Entertaining? Absolutely. Interesting? Also yes.

Even the best-studied star systems can still hold surprises. 🌌 #JWST has uncovered a giant exoplanet hidden within the Beta Pictoris system using its atmospheric chemical signature. science.nasa.gov/missions/web...

NASA's Webb Discovers Hidden Planet in Famous Star System - NASA ScienceAstronomers using NASA's James Webb Space Telescope have discovered a giant planet outside our solar system, called an exoplanet, hiding within one of thescience.nasa.gov

Last week, SkyMapper was at Assises de l’Espace. It was a great opportunity to connect with leaders across the space industry, exchange ideas, and discuss the future of astronomy and space technology. A big thank you to Thales Alenia Space for hosting us at their booth and for the warm welcome.

Space is getting crowded. 🛰️ One SkyQueue observation captured four satellites crossing the same field of view—including the geostationary EUTELSAT KONNECT VHTS. As Earth's orbital traffic grows, continuous observation becomes more important than ever.

A nearby Super Earth is now confirmed to orbit within its star's habitable zone. 🌍🌌 As more potentially habitable worlds are discovered, preserving and validating astronomical data becomes more important than ever. www.universetoday.com/articles/nea...

Nearby "Super Earth" Could Host Life After AllUsing the Hobby-Eberly Telescope at McDonald Observatory, astronomers have taken a closer look at a nearby exoplanet and discovered it may be more Earth-like than previously thought.Using the Hobby-Eb...www.universetoday.com

The SkyMapper @kickstarter.com continues after a successful campaign! You haven't missed your chance. Late Pledges are live, so you can still secure your rewards and support the future of decentralized astronomy. www.kickstarter.com/projects/all...

49 lasers. 49 square miles of San Francisco. One unforgettable view. ✨ The 7X7 installation turned Civic Center into a field of light, inviting people to step inside the beams and look up. Sometimes the best way to connect with the sky starts right here on Earth. 🌌

Packed room in North Beach, SF for @allplanets.bsky.social’s Lectures on Tap talk: “From Exoplanets to E.T.: The Hunt for Cosmic Company.” From @setiinstitute.bsky.social and AI to Laser SETI, UAPs, and citizen science networks like @unistellar.bsky.social and SkyMapper.

July skies are packed. 🌌 Mars meets Uranus. Saturn’s rings return. M57 and M17 shine. SkyMapper nodes are mapping planetary events and deep-space targets all month, one observation at a time. skymapper.io/blog/july-20...

July 2026: The Core Shift, Extreme Transients, and Smart-Array Deep-Sky MappingThe July 2026 SkyMapper briefing directs users of Unistellar arrays to capture key celestial events, including planetary alignments, the Ring and Swan nebulae, and Saturn's rings. The directive emphas...skymapper.io

From stellar remnants to distant galaxies, the sky keeps delivering. ✨ Incredible captures from Tyler Bray from our partners Light-Year Astronomical Association using SkyViewer: 🌌 Western Veil Nebula 🌌 M101 🌌 M102 The universe is closer than ever, one observation at a time.

The Moon is getting busier. Even with only a handful of objects in lunar orbit, spacecraft are already performing collision-avoidance maneuvers. By 2030, more than 100 new payloads are expected to head toward the Moon.

Not every satellite is easy to spot. This is PRISMA, Italy's Earth observation satellite, captured by the SkyMapper network from Wisconsin. Its Sun-synchronous orbit makes ground observations more challenging, making detections like this especially rewarding.

A bright Moon isn't the end of the night. Using a telescope in Christchurch, New Zealand, SkyMapper CEO @allplanets.bsky.social captured 47 Tucanae and the spectacular Helix Nebula. With SkyMapper, the sky is always open somewhere, and it's free for everyone to explore.

Good science isn't about having the most exciting explanation. It's about having the strongest evidence. SkyMapper CEO and @setiinstitute.bsky.social astronomer @allplanets.bsky.social gives his perspective on UAP research. www.alternet.org/trump-ufos-m...
