In a special bonus SETI Live, communication specialist Beth Johnson welcomes astronomer and entrepreneur Franck Marchis to introduce SkyMapper, a new global network of smart telescopes and all-sky sensors designed to open the universe to everyone.
SkyMapper brings together professional observatories, citizen astronomers, and classrooms into a single, decentralized platform. It enables real scientific discovery — from tracking satellites and meteors to monitoring comets and transient events in real time — while giving students and the public the chance to observe the sky, contribute data, and learn how modern astronomy works.
We’ll talk about the science, the outreach mission, the importance of the SETI Institute's partnership with SkyMapper, and why a worldwide, always-on view of the sky matters more than ever for research, education, and our shared curiosity.
Join us live and discover how you can be part of this new way of exploring the universe.
