As part of the EU-funded STARS4ALL project, a group of astronomers are organising expeditions to observe and broadcast astronomical phenomena such as solar eclipses and the Aurora Borealis. Researchers from the University's Web and Internet Science group, are monitoring social media during those events and are looking for communities that emerged on Twitter, concentrating on the interaction and (cultural) diversity between citizen science volunteers and participants, to understand the success of such initiatives.
