About NASA Datanauts Community Event
​Open source data has enabled society to engage in community-based research, and has provided government agencies with more visibility and trust from individuals. NASA Datanauts is an initiative of OpenNASA and encourages collaboration and citizen participation with open data through the analysis of the thousands of datasets that NASA made publicly available. The Starry Night project serves as the starting point from which Datanauts can collaborate, impart new skills and share their love for data science, technology and space exploration with diverse communities of all ages, backgrounds and interests. Datanauts community events are organized by the Datanauts themselves and are open to the public.
