Description
The Pan-African Citizen Science e-Lab (PACS e-Lab) is an online platform that engages the African public in hands-on activities in space science and astronomy, including those in North and Sub-Saharan Africa. We run five main projects, including exoplanet observations, asteroid searches, deep space image processing, double star research, and ARISS—amateur Radio on the International Space Station.
Since its founding in December 2020, we have engaged over 1,000 individuals across 50 African countries and made numerous contributions to astronomy, including the discovery of over 50 asteroids, the publication of over 12 scientific papers, and the generation of several photometric light curves of exoplanets. Our platform is the fastest-growing of its kind in Africa.
During my presentation at the 4th African /conference, I will elaborate on these efforts and our achievements.
