SkyMapper.io merges advanced telescope and camera tech with Web3 to make space exploration collaborative and accessible for everyone, empowering the world to map and share the sky together.
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. 🌌
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
SkyMapper CEO and @setiinstitute.bsky.social astronomer@allplanets.bsky.social joined Mat Kaplan and fellow panelists at Space Tech Expo to discuss why innovation works best when researchers, entrepreneurs, and organizations like NASA work together.
Every dot on this map is a robotic telescope. Together, they form a decentralized observation network generating real astronomical data from locations around the world. Real hardware. Real data. Real scientific utility.
8 years ago, Starlink was "impossible." Today, it blankets the planet with connectivity, operates the world's largest satellite constellation, and helped propel @SpaceX into the ranks of the most valuable companies on Earth. What gets dismissed as unrealistic is often where the future starts.
SkyMapper CSO Tom Esposito recently visited Edwards Air Force Base and met with @usairforce88.bsky.social's Experimental Test Force hosted by Griffiss Institute. We were invited to test SkySphere's drone detection and alert capabilities in their "Game of Drones" exercises.
SkyMapper CEO and @setiinstitute.bsky.social Director of Citizen Science @allplanets.bsky.social will be at Space Tech Expo USA on Thursday at 2:30 PM. Talking about distributed observation networks, the importance of verifiable data and the future of space infrastructure. Don't miss it!
Track. Detect. Replay. Monitor. Receive meteor alerts, track satellite passes, monitor changing weather conditions, detect unusual aerial activity, and capture rare sky events as they happen. With one device. SkySphere continuously watches the sky above you, turning observations into awareness.
SkyMapper CEO @allplanets.bsky.social joined an incredible group of French innovators at the Drone Summit 2026 in Latvia and presented SkySphere and its real-time detection capabilities. As the skies become more active, the need for trusted, continuous observation infrastructure increases.
Do you actually know everything that flies overhead? Satellites. Meteors. Aircraft. Drones. Transient events. SkySphere continuously watches the sky, automatically identifies objects, and surfaces meaningful events in real time without forcing anyone to manually review hours of footage.
A warm welcome to our newest Skykeepers in South America 🌎✨ Curitiba 🇧🇷 Quito 🇪🇨 Valparaíso 🇨🇱 Every new node expands a growing network of people helping observe, map, and understand the sky together. The network keeps growing.
For centuries, astronomy relied on brief moments of observation. But discovery increasingly depends on continuous awareness. That’s why we built SkySphere.
SkyMapper CEO & @setiinstitute.bsky.social Director of Citizen Science @allplanets.bsky.social is headed to Avalanche Summit NYC. Astronomy is becoming part of a much bigger conversation around AI, verifiable data, and globally connected infrastructure. And we'll be there to drive that shift.
People have always looked at the sky and wondered: “What was that?” That same spark of curiosity is what drives astronomers to keep looking up, mapping the sky, and trying to understand every object moving above us.
Most people have no idea what happens above them after dark. Satellites crossing silently overhead. Meteors burning through the atmosphere. Aircraft moving through invisible corridors in the sky. Entire patterns unfolding while everyone sleeps.
Most people have no idea what’s moving above them. Satellites. Meteors. Aircraft. Drones. Things crossing the sky every night unnoticed. SkySphere changes that. A 180° AI-powered sky camera built to watch the entire sky above your home and alert you the moment something appears.
At the Hiller Aviation Museum this week, SkyMapper CEO @allplanets.bsky.social spoke about the future of space infrastructure: Trusted, science-rooted data shared through connected global networks. The next era of exploration will be networked.
What if the sky wasn’t something you looked at, but something you could move through? The SkyMapper network is open to anyone who wants to shift perspectives across continents. One moment you’re under your own sky, the next you’re tracing distant galaxies through someone else’s lens.
Space Symposium 2026 wrapped and everyone agrees: orbit is getting crowded, and understanding what’s happening up there is no longer optional. A strong week of conversations and new connections for SkyMapper. Several collaborations now in motion. More to come soon!
