Social media is essential for outreach and communication. So why should a single bad actor be able to destroy it? 🔭☄️ We don't think that should be the case, and that's why we're building The Astrosky Ecosystem - starting with the Astronomy feeds. We now have a paper about our project! #astrocode

The Astrosky Ecosystem: An independent online platform for science communication and social networking

While almost everything that astronomers study occurs in the vacuum of space, astronomy itself does not `happen in a vacuum'. Interactions between scientists, as well as outreach to members of the pub...

On Monday, we're going to be arXiv-official! 🔭☄️ We just submitted a short paper outlining our project to the arXiv 🥳

We're rolling out some new bespoke branding designed by the wonderful Janine Jochum in Vienna - you'll see the logos on the feeds and on our accounts change over time! These logos were handmade for us 🎨, and they replace the emojis we used before as temporary stand-ins across the project!

If you like astronomy posts, then you'll probably really like the astronomy feeds! If you didn't know, Bluesky gives you direct control over your social algorithm. Instead of doomscrolling, look at space instead:

For the last two years, I've been paying for the Astronomy feeds hosting myself. It has been a privilege to grow our community here, but I also shouldn't keep doing it for free 😅 That's why I'm delighted to announce that we now have a donations page on Open Collective! 🔭☄️ #astrophotography

The Astrosky Ecosystem - Open Collective

We're building an open-source ecosystem of social media tools for the space science & astronomy communities.
