Students at Mary Graham Liceo made history by connecting with the ISS through the Chilean-NASA ARISS program. 🇨🇱� We also shared SkyMapper’s vision with Chile’s science, space and education community. Here’s to connecting more students across Chile with the sky.

Starship Flight 14 is preparing to carry Starlink V3 satellites to orbit for the first time. 🚀🛰️ As more satellites enter LEO, knowing what’s overhead becomes increasingly important. More traffic. More reason to keep watching the sky. spaceflightnow.com/2026/09/28/l...

160,000 light-years away. Observed from South Carolina. Captured by a telescope in Australia. 🌌 The Tarantula Nebula is a vast stellar nursery in the Large Magellanic Cloud. One observer. Another continent. A whole other galaxy.

SkyMapper CEO and @setiinstitute.bsky.social Director of Citizen Science @allplanets.bsky.social took the stage at Avalanche Summit NYC to talk about how SkyMapper is using Avalanche to build verifiable infrastructure for astronomical observations in the age of AI. www.youtube.com/watch?v=rwr0...

100,000+ blocks and counting. The SkyMapper blockchain just crossed 100,000 blocks on Avalanche, helping build a verifiable history for observations across the network. Web3 is the infrastructure. The observations are what matter. The sky is just beginning and we're growing strong.

If you can’t trust the data, you can’t trust the science. As AI makes fake observations easier to create, provenance matters more than ever. At Avalanche Summit NYC, our CEO @allplanets.bsky.social explained how blockchain can help make astronomical data verifiable from the moment it’s captured.
