🔭A single telescope has limits.
🌐A connected network doesn’t.
SkyBridge transforms your telescope into a node in a decentralized sky system built for collaboration and collective discovery.

Drone strikes are hitting critical infrastructure.
Seconds matter. So does verifiable evidence.
SkySphere turns visibility into infrastructure:
▶️ 360° continuous sky monitoring
▶️ automated detection of drones and aerial events
▶️ tamper-proof observation records

Clear skies at 1:00 UTC in the United States.
Which means this telescope is available on SkyViewer and ready for use on our network.
That’s why SkyMapper uses Akave to store telescope observations: ensuring astronomical data stays accessible, tamper-resistant, and independent of centralized infrastructure.
Discovery deserves infrastructure built to last.
akave.com/blog/akave-r...
Astronomy, science, and global observation networks deserve a storage layer built for sovereign AI.
Akave Cloud just raised $6.65M to build exactly that.
Distributed, encrypted storage across global nodes means telescope data stays resilient, verifiable, and independent of centralized servers.
We’re currently in our three-month pre-sale phase, welcoming early adopters to join the network.

Telescope owners - do you want your device to become part of something bigger?
#SkyBridge connects it to a decentralized global network - enabling shared missions, coordinated observations, and access to our global portal SkyViewer.
March is turning the sky into a live show.
A Blood Moon, a planet parade, and bright planets lining up after sunset are just some of the events unfolding above us this month.
Point your telescope up. The universe isn’t waiting.

If you’re a telescope owner, educator, astrophotographer, or network contributor, we’d love you to explore what this means.

At SkyMapper, we’re teaching the sky to watch itself.
SkyBridge makes it possible by connecting telescopes into a decentralized global network for shared observing and real-time collaboration.
We’re now opening pre-orders as we expand participation and bring more regions online.
Planetary astronomer @allplanets.bsky.social explains how @skymapper.bsky.social addresses the challenge created by AI-generated data. By anchoring observations to time, place, and instrument using tamper-evident ledgers, SkyMapper makes data verifiable at its origin. 🧪 🔭

🔭Big surveys detect.
🌐Distributed networks respond.
That’s where SkyMapper’s global telescope network comes in - turning alerts into coordinated observations around the world.
www.nsf.gov/news/nsf-doe...
Rubin Observatory is about to generate hundreds of thousands of sky alerts every night, soon scaling to millions.
That’s a breakthrough for time-domain astronomy.
But discovery is only step one.
Every alert needs rapid follow-up observations to confirm and study it.
Our #SkySphere all-sky camera system provides:
▶️continuous 360° monitoring
▶️automated detection of drones, satellites, meteors and transients,
▶️tamper-proof records of what actually happened.
When a laser meant for a target hits the wrong drone, the problem isn’t just the weapon. It’s visibility.
Better awareness prevents costly mistakes.

Space is getting more exciting to track.
From satellite traffic to transient celestial events, the sky is dynamic and no single telescope can see it all.
#SkyBridge connects individual telescopes into a coordinated global network designed for shared access and collective coverage.
We'll break down how the @unistellar.bsky.social network, in partnership with @setiinstitute.bsky.social is turning distributed telescopes into real scientific output.
Are you ready for the next stage of space discovery and observations?
🔭15,000 observations in one year.
☄️Comet 29P outbursts.
🚀Rocket body tracking.
🪐A planet candidate under review.

In the age of AI-generated images and synthetic signals, provenance matters more than ever - especially in astronomy and space discovery.
From photons to publication, we need verifiable records.

In 2022, a foundational Alzheimer’s paper was found to contain manipulated images.
The math wasn’t wrong but the data was.
Science doesn’t collapse when theories fail.
It collapses when evidence can’t be trusted.
Be safe everyone and happy observing 🔭

Meanwhile, we're just hoping for beautiful observations, clean data, and maybe a few great photos of Mercury, Venus, Saturn, Jupiter, Uranus, and Neptune lining up.
Still, if a monolith shows up or someone starts chanting in Latin, please timestamp your observation before running.

🇳🇵 An observatory at 3,000+ meters in Mustang, Nepal open to all.
Marche à l’Étoile is building the country’s first high-mountain public observatory, bringing a 60cm telescope to a region where astronomy has never been accessible.
www.helloasso.com/associations...
Launched in 2011, GALILEO-FM2 was one of @esa.int 's first two satellites in the Galileo global navigation satellite system (GNSS), a European counterpart to the United States' GPS and Russia's GLONASS.
Successful detection of Medium-Earth orbit satellite GALILEO-FM2 on 13 Feb 2026 in the US.
SkyMapper uses GNSS clocks to precisely time satellite crossings and compute their orbits.
We’re partnering with Marche à l’Étoile to bring telescopes directly to remote communities, sometimes on foot, with a telescope in a backpack.
Opening access to the stars means meeting people where they are.
The sky belongs to everyone.
We’re currently in our pre-sale phase and opening access to early contributors.
