This 6-hour observation of the Great Barred Spiral Galaxy (NGC 1365), taken by the Star Shadows Remote Observatory astrophotography group with one of our 16-inch diameter PROMPT telescopes at Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory in the Chilean Andes, serves as the logo of our social media sites. This image was selected as NASA’s Astronomy Picture of the Day in 2007.

Skynet on Social Media

I maintain Facebook and Twitter sites for the Skynet Robotic Telescope Network, and a YouTube site for Project Intro Astro / Skynet University.

I put a fair amount of effort into the Facebook site, where I have over 100,000 followers.

I forget about the Twitter site for years at a time, and (deservingly) have less than 700 followers there...

However, my YouTube videos have had ≈170,000 views, for a total of ≈780,000 minutes = 13,000 hours = 540 days = 1.5 continuous years viewed.
