SkySphere is an ambitious project to create a global network of AI-powered all-sky cameras that continuously monitor and analyze the night sky in real time. By combining ultra-wide-angle imaging, machine learning, and distributed observation stations, the system can automatically detect and track meteors, auroras, satellites, and other transient events. For both amateur and professional astronomers, SkySphere represents a new era of continuous sky monitoring and citizen science.

As we enter into June 2026, you'll be able to catch a meteor shower, and as the days stretch longer - warm summer nights ideal for viewing the planets.

The HELIOSTAR 100Hα is a premium 100mm hydrogen-alpha solar telescope designed for advanced solar observing and imaging. With a ≤0.5 Angstrom bandpass, it reveals stunning chromospheric detail: solar prominences, filaments, and sunspots, in high contrast and real time, far beyond what white light filters can show.

Powered by Sky-Watcher’s Solis etalon technology, it delivers exceptional performance without the complexity of a dual etalon system. Built with advanced safety filters and meeting ISO 12312-2:2015 standards, this complete, ready-to-use solar telescope is ideal for both serious astronomers and newcomers looking to explore the Sun in incredible detail.

Christopher Go and Wilco Kasteleijn are have introduced a groundbreaking new tool for planetary imaging.  Check out LuckyStackWorker, our video with the pair and the benefits this tool provides.  

By increasing girls’ participation in STEM focus we can provide greater access to scientific experiences, mentorship, and hands-on learning. Astronomy in particular is an effective way to spark curiosity and introduce students to STEM fields.
