Pan-African Citizen Science e-Lab: An Emerging Online Platform for Astronomy Research, Education and Outreach in Africa
Citizen science offers an opportunity for ordinary people, known as citizen
scientists or citizen astronomers in the context of astronomy, to contribute to
scientific research. The Pan-African Citizen Science e-Lab (PACS e-Lab) was
founded to promote and engage the African public in citizen science and soft
astronomy research to advance space research and exploration and enhance space
education and outreach. PACS e-Lab, in collaboration with several international
astronomy research, education, and outreach organizations, currently runs
several projects including but not limited to asteroid search, exoplanet
photometry, research writing for peer-reviewed publications, astrophoto visual
development, and Amateur Radio contact with astronauts aboard the International
Space Station (ARISS). Despite several challenges, the group has engaged over
600 Africans from more than 40 countries and is working towards covering the
entire continent in the future. PACS e-Lab's development efforts resonate with
seven United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN-SDGs).
