Best part of being on the SkyMapper network?
You step outside.
The sky looks like this. ☁️
Every astronomer knows that feeling...
But instead of packing it up for the night,
you log in and borrow a clear sky from the other side of the planet. 🌍🔭

The first direct image of a black hole’s jet didn’t come from one telescope, but from many, linked across the planet into a single eye.
The future of discovery is networks over silos and collaboration over isolation.

SkyMapper is partnering with Reality Network so SkyMapper can verify satellite and orbital data at the source - using everyday devices like laptops, phones, and sensors.
More eyes. Faster validation. Clear provenance.
Global coverage without relying on a single authority.

Occultations, retrogrades, conjunctions, eclipses. Not just sights to admire, but motions to record.

Same stars. Same need to look toward the sky.
The Nebra Sky Disk (~2000 BC) is the oldest known depiction of the sky with the Pleiades, carefully marked in gold.
Today, we capture the very same cluster with modern telescopes and technology.
