Here we are, alone in space on a spaceship we call Earth. I am disheartened; I thought by now we would have found our cosmic brothers and sisters to share our challenges, joys, and defeats with. But no, we are floating in this galaxy, arguing about our tiny lives and wasting the time that could be used to make us a better civilization. #todaythought

Will this be in the front page of major news papers in the western world? I am still hoping it will. #IranRevolution2026‌

Thrilled to be partnering with @Skymapperspace to open up the space market to the world! There's so much work to be done but we believe space should be global, inclusive, and accessible to everyone. Finding a partner who shares those values makes the journey that much better. 🛰️🔭

We’re excited to partner with @decenspace to advance space situational awareness. 📡Decen Space connects satellites to a global ground station network. 🔭 SkyMapper adds a decentralized layer of optical tracking from ground-based telescopes. Together, we can bring: better detection, tracking, and visibility of objects in orbit.

☀️@SpaceTechExpo comes to sunny Anaheim this June. Join us as @Skymapperspace CEO and @SETIInstitute Director of Citizen Science @AllPlanets takes the stage to explore how observation itself is changing - from isolated instruments to global, connected networks. The way we understand space is evolving. So is the infrastructure behind it.

@McCormack_Tara @AsteroidEnergy You should better read the news before saying that there is not a whisper from the EU. reuters.com/world/europe/f…

Quite astonishing that Israel can simply invade, expel 100,000s, say they can’t come back and not a whisper from the EU or America.

The SkyMapper team spent a few days in Riga connecting with builders at Start Up House. Before leaving, we installed our first #SkySphere in Europe in Mārupes Novads and got first light immediately. Thank you for hosting the first node and helping kick off the European SkyMapper network.

L’IA peut désormais générer des images et des signaux indiscernables de vraies observations astronomiques. Bonne nouvelle pour la recherche… mais aussi un risque pour la confiance dans les données scientifiques. Un défi que la science va devoir affronter. futura-sciences.com/sciences/actua…

Félicitations à une partie du paysage médiatique français qui a réussi à polariser un pays qui a pourtant tout pour réussir, en donnant aux Français l’impression qu’ils doivent choisir entre deux extrêmes : l’un qualifié d’islamo-gauchiste, l’autre soutenu par la Russie et ouvertement raciste. La France mérite mieux que ce faux choix. Français, réveillez-vous.

@luluHru For those who did not realize yet, this is staged and probably for the entertainment. French people don’t talk to each other in English in France.

French woman retaliates against migrant men following her in France! Hilarious 😆

Catch SkyMapper CEO and @SETIInstitute Director of #citizenscience @AllPlanets at “Eyes on Earth & Space: Breaking Through Complex Problems,” hosted by @facc_pnw in Seattle on Mar 16. Ready to explore how new approaches to observing Earth and space are shaping the next era of discovery?

Great discussions at @CNES in Toulouse on the future of Space Situational Awareness (SSA) and how distributed observation networks can strengthen monitoring of satellites and debris. Excited to explore how SkyMapper’s global telescope network can contribute to safer skies.

🔭Your telescope already sees the sky. Now it can help map it. #SkyBridge turns every observation into a part of a global decentralized network working together to expand coverage, reduce blind spots, and strengthen real-time sky data. Become an early adopter by joining our pre-sale phase and turn your telescope into a node: skymapper.io/skybridge-pre-…

Ils vont payer tous les crimes qu'ils ont commis... Une pensée ce matin pour Mahsa Amini 🙏🏽 #Iran

Être élue implique une responsabilité. En publiant ce type d’image, vous ne faites pas qu’exprimer une opinion, vous contribuez à alimenter des tensions réelles. Les personnes qui subissent réellement la guerre et la violence méritent du sérieux et de la nuance, pas des symboles qui attisent la colère.

Twenty years ago we invaded Iraq. The war killed many innocent Iraqis and Americans. It destroyed the oldest Christian populations in the world. It cost over $1 trillion, and turned Iraq into a satellite of Iran. It was an unforced disaster, and I pray that we learn its lessons.

I don’t celebrate the killing of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. A human life taken by foreign force is not something I cheer. But let’s be honest. Under his rule, thousands of Iranians asking for dignity and change were shot, jailed, or executed. The recent protests made it clear: people wants a different future and many were killed for demanding it. This is not about revenge. It’s about remembering who paid the price, and why. #Iran

Today, Dr. Franck Marchis (@AllPlanets) and Dr. Lauren Sgro (@astro_sgro) will chat about our Citizen Science Program in a @SETIInstitute livestream! Join them at 1 pm Pacific Time to hear the latest news and ask questions in real time 🌟 #citizenscience tinyurl.com/2fu2rt6e

Donald Trump's State of the Union drew 28 million viewers. Bad Bunny's Super Bowl Halftime Show drew 135 million viewers. Indeed, the only thing more powerful than hate is love.

🇳🇵 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. helloasso.com/associations/m…

We often treat scientists as guardians of truth. However, science is not about truth. Science is about objectivity. This is at risk because of AI which will blurs the boundary between observation and fabrication. seti.org/news/guarding-…
