SkyMapper
@skymapper.bsky.social
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.
The @skymapper.bsky.social and @setiinstitute.bsky.social teams had a few exciting days at @aas.org in Phoenix packed with meetings, meaningful conversations and activities with fellow scientists and space enthusiasts!
And two great presentations from Tom Esposito and Daniel Peluso!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 🥳

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.
