Title: Mapping the Cosmos Together: SkyMapper
Event Info:
Have you ever imagined a global, collaborative network of telescopes working as one? SkyMapper is building exactly that: the world's first decentralized, real-time telescope and all-sky camera network, powered by Web3 technology and AI-driven insights.
Tom Esposito, chief scientist at SkyMapper, will present SkyMapper's mission to democratize space exploration for everyone—researchers, educators, citizen scientists, and curious stargazers alike. He'll explain how their network, fueled by a global community from backyard observatories to professional sites, provides 24/7 coverage of the night sky.
This is a fantastic opportunity to learn about a cutting-edge project that blends astronomy with modern technology to create a truly collaborative and transparent way to watch the sky. Also please join us in thanking Ed Chimney for recommending this exciting and innovative company to our members.
Clear skies!
