The SkyMapper @Kickstarter 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.

Are we alone in the universe?
SkyMapper CEO @AllPlanets was interviewed by @DeutscheWelle (DW) for “Life in Space,” a ten-part mini-documentary series, exploring the search for life beyond Earth.
When did it happen? Where was it seen? Can the record be verified?
Astronomy, satellite and drone detection depend on those answers.
Building on @avax gives SkyMapper a shared, verifiable record of observation timestamps and provenance across a global sensor network.

Observation of the week: AD Leo.
Our SkyKeepers observed this red dwarf just 16 light-years away. It’s one of the most active flare stars known, with eruptions that can rise and fade in seconds to minutes.
A reminder of why response time matters in astronomy.

🤖 Made with AI
Built for two years. Watching the changing universe for nearly 22.
@NASA's Swift Observatory has ended science operations after helping astronomers catch gamma-ray bursts and other fleeting cosmic events.
Its legacy: when the universe changes, being ready to observe matters.

Two years ago, SkyMapper was just an idea.
Today: telescopes across six continents, 1,465 users and 36 TiB of sky data.
From an idea to a global network watching the universe together.
Your turn. Choose a target and observe with SkyViewer.

Observation of the week: 87 Sylvia, spotted by our SkyKeepers.
This potato-shaped asteroid has two moons: Romulus and Remus. SkyMapper CEO Franck Marchis led the team that discovered its triple-system nature in 2005 - the first ever identified.
A small dot in our images. A whole system with a story.

What would you observe if the whole sky were within reach? 🌌🔭
The Andromeda Galaxy. Orion Nebula. Saturn. A passing comet. A supernova halfway across the world.
SkyViewer puts telescopes across the global SkyMapper network at your fingertips: choose targets, capture images and observe remotely when your own skies won’t cooperate.
Your location doesn’t have to limit your view of the universe.

A bigger SkyMapper network starts with the ability to build at scale. 🌍
Our partnership with HansaMatrix brings SkySphere another step closer to scalable production, helping us expand the network companies, researchers and communities can build on.

Verifiable space infrastructure on-chain! 🔭
SkyMapper L1 crossing 100,000+ blocks to record tamper-proof telescope observations proves custom Avalanche L1s are securing real-world scientific data! Connecting astronomical observations to cryptographic proof is next-level utility
100,000+ blocks and counting.
The SkyMapper blockchain just crossed 100,000 blocks, with the chain live and continuing to grow on @avax 🔺
Every block adds to the infrastructure behind a network where observations can have a verifiable history, connecting what was observed with when and where it was captured.
Web3 is part of the infrastructure. The observations are what matter.
The sky is just beginning and we're growing strong.
Looking up is more fun when we share our findings and questions.
Come talk astronomy, share your observations, get help using the SkyMapper network and meet SkyKeepers from around the world. 🔭

Satellite trails ruining your astrophotography? 🛰️🔭
We built SatSafe, a free tool that predicts when satellites are likely to cross your field of view, so you can plan your observations around them.
Enter your location, target and exposure parameters, and SatSafe helps identify better observing windows with a lower risk of satellite interference.
Spend less time dealing with ruined exposures and more time collecting useful data 👇

🔭 Observation of the Week: Triangulum Galaxy (M33)
Want to see a galaxy 2.7 million light-years away?
Open SkyMapper LiveView, select a telescope in Europe or North America, calibrate, choose M33 and observe for 5–10 minutes. 🌌
SkySphere is a purpose-built, all-sky instrument with onboard AI designed to detect, classify and eventually track what’s happening overhead. 👀🌌
When you buy a SkySphere, it’s yours. Hardware and software. No forced subscriptions or planned obsolescence, with replaceable and upgradeable components.
We’re starting with 150+ stations, building a global network to monitor meteors, satellite reentries, atmospheric events and an increasingly busy low-altitude sky.
Every global network starts somewhere. Ours starts with people.

🛰️ Satellite trails ruining your astrophotography?
SatSafe is now live! Developed by SETI Institute, SkyMapper & LAM with Lounsbery Foundation support, it helps you find observing windows with fewer satellite trails.
Try it and share with your astronomy club!
