Today, I'm thrilled to announce the launch of a program I've been excited about for months: Gravity Guild.


As President of Slooh, I get to see thousands of students using our telescopes every day.


And while it's incredible to watch the Gravity Points accumulate and the observations roll in, what really stands out to me are the students who go beyond just using the platform - they build community, help others, create amazing content, and genuinely lead.


These are the students who don't just capture beautiful images of the Andromeda Galaxy - they write thoughtful explanations that help others understand what they're seeing. They answer questions from newer users. They get their entire astronomy class excited about Slooh. They're natural leaders.


So we created Gravity Guild, a new program of the Gravity Awards, to recognize and empower these students.


What is the Gravity Guild?


Gravity Guild members are exceptional Slooh users who receive:

  • Early access to new features and telescopes

  • A voice in shaping our new Gravity Awards competition

  • Featured content across our channels

  • A community of like-minded space enthusiasts

  • Direct access to me and the Slooh leadership team


In return, they create and share their observations with the world and represent what's best about our community.

Clear skies, 


Dr. Emma
