SkyBridge is your gateway to the SkyMapper network, turning any telescope into a node in the world’s first decentralized sky mapping system. With simple setup, onboard AI, and real-time connectivity, SkyBridge automates observations, streams data securely to the blockchain, and opens the door to collaborative cosmic discovery for everyone, from backyard astronomers to professional researchers.
SkyViewer transforms raw data into an interactive window on the universe. Designed for scientists, educators, and citizen explorers, it lets you follow live observations, track campaigns across the globe, and dive into real-time discoveries, all from one intuitive platform, built for collaboration and accessibility.
SkyBridge
The SkyBridge is the essential, plug-and-play hardware that instantly integrates your personal telescope into the decentralized SkyMapper observation network. This device features a built-in computer powered with artificial intelligence, machine learning algorithms enable automated telescope control, 24/7 data capture, and real-time onboard analysis, effectively transforming your telescope into a powerful, global scientific asset for collaborative projects. By automating complex operations and providing seamless connectivity, the SkyBridge significantly reduces operational complexity, allowing your telescope to effortlessly contribute to global astronomical coverage.
SkyViewer is the streamlined, next-generation interface that transforms raw astronomical data into an interactive window on the universe, putting the power of a global telescope network at your fingertips. Its capabilities make advanced astronomical research accessible to everyone by allowing you to launch scientific observation campaigns with a single click, leveraging intelligent scheduling that automatically matches your targets to the best available telescopes in the SkyMapper network.
You can follow live observations from around the world, track discoveries in real time, and when your own telescope is connected via SkyBridge, you gain the unique ability to remotely observe through other SkyBridge-enabled telescopes, turning local cloudy skies into clear views from the other side of the planet. SkyViewer serves as the central platform for collaborating on global science projects and joining a vibrant community of citizen explorers and researchers.
