Looking for a cool present for Xmas? Our @setiinstitute.bsky.social citizen science has now merch available on ChopShop Store for you, your friends and our community. #SupportScience www.chopshopstore.com/collections/...

Radical idea: Generation Beta may be the last humans as we know them. Kids born today will grow up with genetic upgrades, AI-enhanced minds, and lifespans with no clear limit. If you’re raising them, you’re holding the hinge of history, the final “old humanity,” and the architects of what comes next

In our latest #SETILive #podcast, @allplanets.bsky.social asked Dr. Ariel Graykowski what it meant that an analysis of #Comet3I/ATLAS revealed a lack of water in the coma. Listen to the full episode: feeds.libsyn.com/462636/rss 🧪 🔭 👩‍🔬

Recent events raise legitimate questions about the president capability to carry out the duties of the office. When medical concerns or persistent communication issues become impossible to ignore, it’s not about politics — it’s about ensuring that the country is being led with clarity and stability.

American Airlines says all planes impacted by Airbus glitch have been fixed American Airlines said Saturday that aircrafts impacted by an Airbus recall have received the software fixes necessary to resume flying.

Space exploration isn’t a luxury or sci-fi — it’s infrastructure. Airbus just grounded 6,000 A320s for urgent software repairs after solar flares threatened to corrupt flight-critical data. Space weather affects every nation, every sky, every system. www.cnbc.com/2025/11/29/a...

Fantastic work by Ariel Graykowski and our @setiinstitute.bsky.social citizen scientists.
Comet C/2025 K1 (ATLAS) is breaking apart — and some of you caught it live. After passing 0.3 AU from the Sun, it erupted, and three days later a third appeared.

K1 is now officially in pieces.

Our CEO @allplanets.bsky.social visited the HR MacMillan Space Centre to talk exoplanets and how SkyMapper’s decentralized network will accelerate discovery.

Huge thanks to the @setiinstitute.bsky.social team for hosting us and giving us space to share the future of sky observation. 🌌

How many more Cloudflare, AWS, or GCP outages do we need before we admit our internet is built on a few fragile chokepoints? These failures aren’t accidents — they’re the cost of centralization. Time to look seriously at decentralized infra as a real path to resilience. #web3

Gave two talks at the MacMillan Space Centre in Vancouver on Friday evening to a wonderfully diverse and curious crowd. We explored the @setiinstitute.bsky.social , LaserSETI, and of course @skymapper.bsky.social Loved the questions, the energy, and the conversation.

New observations of comet 3I/ATLAS show it’s exactly where predictions said it would be. No mystery, no breakup.

Scientists shouldn’t post rough guesses as headlines — and journalists should stop amplifying them. Let’s focus on the real science, not manufactured drama.

At USF, our CEO @allplanets.bsky.social showed how anyone can map the sky through @unistellar.bsky.social and SkyMapper with decentralization and real rewards pushing discovery forward.

Thanks to our partners The Canary Global Foundation and Light Bridges for helping make it real.

Comet 3I/ATLAS Perihelion Update YouTube video by SETI Institute

What do we really know about interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS? I sat down with planetary astronomer Ariel Graykowski for an honest, curiosity-driven discussion—no promo, just science. #astronomy #comet3I www.youtube.com/live/zaVO-uf...

Four Republicans vote with Democrats in effort to end Trump tariffs on Canada | CNN Politics The Senate passed a resolution aimed at ending President Donald Trump’s tariffs on Canada, with four Republicans joining Democrats to rebuke the administration’s trade policies a day after they voted ...

The cracks are showing. Even Republicans are turning against Trump’s absurd trade wars. The Senate just voted to kill his tariffs on Canada — and did the same for Brazil yesterday. Maybe this is the start of a rebellion against blind, illogical leadership.

☄️ What happens when a visitor from another star system drops by?

Our CEO @allplanets.bsky.social and Ariel Graykowski joined @setiinstitute.bsky.social’s #SETILive to discuss Comet 3I/ATLAS - the third known interstellar object ever detected!

10 Nights Under the Stars Unistellar marks its 10th anniversary with a call to stargazers: observe 10 comets this autumn in partnership with the SETI Institute.

Join us for 10 Nights Under the Stars, a global citizen-science campaign by Unistellar + SETI. Over October & November, observe comets like SWAN, ATLAS & Lemmon — contribute data, earn recognition, and help expand our cosmic knowledge. #Astronomy #CitizenScience #SETI

Congratulations to Jill Tarter — astronomer, innovator, and founder of the @setiinstitute.bsky.social — for receiving the California Academy of Sciences Fellows Medal!
Her dedication to science has inspired generations, including myself. Always a joy to talk with her about @skymapper.bsky.social

Everyone remembers the first time they saw Saturn’s rings—often through binoculars. ✨

With ENVISION, we’re bringing that magic into the modern world: smart AR binoculars that connect people to the sky.

Launched in 2020, this SpaceX satellite joined 7,600+ siblings before burning up safely—no direct danger (maybe for our ozone layer?), just a cosmic fireworks.

Soon the @skymapper.bsky.social
network will be catching these streaks in real time. #Space #Starlink

Fun SETILive and interesting discussion with @asrivkin.bsky.social on 2024YR4 and its potential impact on the moon in 2032. We are going to need a Planetary Defense program for the Moon if we establish permanent bases there...

It’s the first time I’ve ever watched Jimmy Kimmel, but today feels special for our country. Our freedoms and the principles that make this a truly free nation—free speech , respect for science, and a fair system of justice—are what unite us as Americans. Let’s stand together to protect them.

🚨 Possible brightening in comet 3I/ATLAS!
Observers report an uptick since Sept 17 (UTC). Our @Unistellar data shows 2 points brighter than predicted—promising but sparse.
As 3I nears the Sun it’s getting tougher to spot, so more observations in the next few nights are key! #exocomet

When you tune out the amplified extremes, humanity looks far less like a battleground and far more like a vast network of mostly decent people quietly making life better. Let’s remember this please. #future

Project Hail Mary, based on one of the best sci-fi books I’ve read recently, is about to hit the screen. The story? A teacher-turned-astronaut who meets an alien named Rocky. I can’t wait! www.youtube.com/watch?v=vkcE...

Friday night bliss: a fog-free, dark sky, my @Unistellar ODYSSEY at my side, great music in my ears and a good book in hand. Nights like this remind me why I fell in love with the stars… here’s to many more. #astronomy

Beyond politics, it’s time for all of us to confront the radicalization of some young men, likely accelerated by COVID isolation and social media, an alarming sign of a society that has lost its values, neglected to properly guide its youth, and failed to simply love them. #education #family

New comet SWAN25B already bright but near the sun

There’s a new comet in the sky, although, as of Friday morning, it was not yet officially confirmed. SWAN25B is best positioned for observers in the Southern Hemisphere. Because it’s so close to the sun, it will be tricky to spot. #comet #astronomy earthsky.org/space/new-co...

Several citizen astronomers of the @unistellar.bsky.social network watched the eclipse beginning of this week. Here some images by Aad V. who lives in Netherlands. Don't miss the next one on March 2-4, 2026! #LunarEclipse #astronomy
