SkyLive is creating the world's first community-powered network of sky cameras. Our mission is to deploy cameras across the globe, enabling people to watch celestial events live regardless of weather, location, or time zone. By combining real-time streaming, global coverage, and event tracking, SkyLive makes astronomy more accessible than ever before.

@samuel_gallo_ocampo as a lifelong amateur astronomer, I can imagine how to use it - when there is a full sun eclipse visible only on a different continent and you don't want to miss it :) not the same thing as watching it live, but still... good idea!

@margarita_s88 Thank you, Margarita! That's exactly the vision behind SkyLive. We want to make astronomical events accessible to everyone, no matter where they happen. It may not replace being there in person, but it can bring the sky closer to people everywhere. 🌎✨
What's the single most breathtaking event a SkyLive camera has captured so far? The one that made you think 'yes, this is exactly why we built this' :)

@anastasija_pm Thanks for asking, Anastasija. SkyLive is still in its early MVP stage. Right now, we’re testing with one camera I bought and installed in Tampa, FL, streaming the live sky occasionally.
We haven’t captured a major event yet, but that’s exactly what we’re building toward: catching unexpected celestial moments in real time 👀
This is a great idea. I got onto your site, but no matter what city I typed in, there does not seem to be anything that shows up. When will this go live, or am I doing something incorrectly?

@st1100 Thanks for checking it out! Right now, we have one test camera in Tampa, FL, and it isn’t live 24/7 yet, so you may not always see a stream. You can also visit the Community section and interact there by creating a free account. We’re working on adding more cameras soon. Stay tuned!
congrats on the launch! this looks cool tbh but cant see any stream now. Also no past streams are visible to me? do we have to signup on the platform to have full access?

@ashishkingdom Thanks for checking it out! Right now, we only have one test camera in Tampa, FL, and it’s not live 24/7 yet, so the stream may not always be available. Past streams aren’t visible publicly at the moment. You can create a free account to access the Community section and interact there. We’re working on adding more cameras and improving access soon. 📸
The moment I saw this idea, I thought about every single event I've missed over the years. The aurora, a meteor shower I planned a whole night around, only to get clouds. So this genuinely resonates with me.
What I love most is that you framed it as community-powered infrastructure, not just a livestream feed. As someone who builds with AI and gets way too excited about turning ideas into actual products, I keep imagining the layers you could add on top: smart alerts for clear-sky cameras, maybe an AI that flags the best viewing window in real time. The foundation you're laying here is the hard part, and you nailed the vision.
Following closely and rooting for you, Samuel. This is the kind of thing the internet should be used for.

@ghazal_ebnalnassir Thank you so much, Ghazal — this really means a lot ☺️. I love the way you’re thinking about this, and we’ll definitely discuss your ideas as we keep building. For now, we’re focused on securing a reliable camera stream that can stay live 24/7. Once we have that foundation in place, we want to add more cameras around the world 😉
