Join us for a special episode of SETI Live as host Lauren Sgro sits down with astronomer and entrepreneur Franck Marchis to explore the newly launched SkyMapper platform—now open to the public.
SkyMapper is a global, decentralized network of telescopes and all-sky sensors that connects professional observatories, citizen scientists, and classrooms around the world. In this live, interactive session, Lauren and Franck will go beyond the basics and show how SkyMapper works in real time—from navigating the interface and accessing live sky data to triggering observations and joining active discoveries.
We’ll talk about what this launch means for the future of astronomy, how people are already using the platform, and why a continuously connected view of the sky could transform research, education, and public participation in science. We’ll also highlight the SETI Institute's role in building this new global observing network.
✨ Ready to explore the universe yourself? This is your chance to see SkyMapper in action—and learn how to get involved.
