Never miss a celestial event, anywhere on Earth

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.
How does this work? Should I buy camera, point it to the sky and plug into your server?
It sounds unusual, interesting, but... what is the system behind? Currently, only you 'occasionally' pointing camera to the sky. Even you are not committed. "catching unexpected celestial moments in real time' occasionally looking to the sky is a bit challenging, no?

@gsostak That's a good point! 🙂
Nowadays we operate the cameras ourselves, but our vision goes much further. We want to build a global network of sky cameras so people can experience astronomical events happening anywhere on Earth in real time.
We know it is a difficult challenge, especially due to unexpected events, but that is exactly the problem we are trying to solve. Every camera we add will bring us one step closer to that vision. 🌌
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 😉
Looking forward to when you have more cameras and streams. Would love to have this on to unwind.

@arathy_kushalappa1 Thank you, Arathy! 🌙
Stay tuned! We're steadily working toward our goal of building a global network of sky cameras. Every new camera and stream is another step forward, and we're excited to share that journey with the community. ✨
The concept behind this whole thing at Skylive excites the inner kid in me who used to have a telescope to explore space and celestial bodies . The best part I feel about skylive is there ‘real time streaming’ , like you know right in the moment what exactly is going on in a particular part of world .
