Swiss SKA Days 2025 has wrapped up after a stellar line up of speakers sharing #astrophysics, #AI, computer science, #engineering and #outreach updates that are contributing to one of the biggest #science projects of this century. Thanks to ZHAW for hosting us in #Winterthur.

SKACH’s Jean-Paul Kneib and Carolyn Crighton have been celebrating the opening of #CosmosArcheology in Beijing. The Swiss Ambassador to China, Juerg Burri, also commemorated 75 years of Switzerland-China diplomatic relations. #astronomy #outreach

We're excited to share that around 2000 #astrophysicists will gather in Switzerland in June 2026 for the annual meeting of the European Astronomical Society! It will take place in #Lausanne at EPFL, whose #astronomy is strongly connected to the SKAO and the CTAO.

It's a wrap! Thanks to everyone in our team who helped spread the word about the SKAO at Fantasy Basel this year. It was a pleasure to talk to the thousands of inspired people who stopped by our stand for a chat! #astrophysics #astronomy #cosmology

The countdown is on! Our stand looks great, our very cool simulator is ready to go and we're excited that SKACH's Michele Bianco will open the #Space Stage tomorrow at this year's Fantasy Basel Comicon! Come and say hello if you are in Basel 🌌🌠🪐#astronomy #cosmology

SKACH's Pablo @llopis.dev was in his home town of Madrid this week, presenting the SKA Observatory to a very engaged adult's English class at the "Escuela Municipal de Idiomas de Torrelodones"! They talked size, costs, science and alien life 😀 #astronomy #cosmology #outreach #astrophysics

SKACH's Carolyn Crichton navigating the SKAO South Africa site on our very cool simulator! It's an honor to be part of the #CosmosArcheology exhibition now touring #China!

It's been an interesting Easter week for our team in #China, visiting CETC54, the company building the SKA-MID dishes for the SKAO South Africa site. Discussions centered around progress regarding SKA-MID dish production. #telescope #astronomy #engineering

SKACH’s Carolina Lindqvist took to the stage today at #Kubecon EU in London, with a keynote speech focused on the SKA Observatory’s use of #Kubernetes as a service management plane, to build a novel infrastructure to support data and compute-intensive #astronomy use cases.

It was a privilege to hear Princeton University's Prof. David Spergel, also President of the Simons Foundation, presenting the latest data from the @act-pol.bsky.social Atacama #Cosmology Telescope at EPFL. #astronomy www.simonsfoundation.org/2025/03/18/a...

En ligne dès maintenant ! Dans épisode 4 de Radio Cosmos, nous découvrons comment les 10 000 #satellites en orbite autour de la Terre influencent l' #astronomie, pourquoi c'est important et ce qui est fait pour aider à préserver notre « ciel sombre et silencieux ».

C'est terminé ! Nous avons enregistré le quatrième et dernier épisode de la première série de Radio Cosmos sur le thème du ciel sombre et silencieux ! Retrouvez-le bientôt sur skach.org/radio-cosmos/ et écoutez les trois premiers épisodes si vous ne l'avez pas encore fait !

We were thrilled to welcome Pontsho Maruping, the Managing Director of the South African Radio Astronomy Observatory to the Versoix Observatory this week to talk about the challenge of building the SKA Observatory, the largest radio telescope array in the world! #astronomy #cosmology

"I recommend the very special experience of being in a dish!" Our colleague André Csillaghy recently 'in' the Lovell Telescope at the Jodrell Bank #Observatory in the UK, also the HQ of the SKAO. #astronomy #cosmology #science @fhnw.ch

We had a great week last week presenting #astronomy and #space to dozens of school groups at MINT, a #STEM fair, in Lausanne. Thanks to all our SKACH volunteers and those who visited us to talk #science! It's so wonderful to see the enthusiasm and interest that kids have 🙂

As the #Swiss Consortium for SKAO which is building the world's largest telescope to unlock some of the greatest mysteries in the Universe, we're excited to join Bluesky! Follow us here or on LinkedIn for all our exciting #astronomy related news 🙂 #telescope #AI #cosmology #supercomputing #space
