In this paper we present a data visualization of how the citizen scientists in the Zooniverse citizen science project and astronomy content consumers associated with the Astronomy Cast and 365 Days of Astronomy podcasts can be linked to other astronomy programs via their social connections in Twitter. This visualization shows how some people select to engage in a myriad of astronomy projects, while other focus narrowly on just one online community. We also show how professional astronomy online entities (both real people, and the avatars of missions and projects) engage with other astronomy projects as a form of social networking. The result of the project is a network showing the structure of the astronomical community within the twitterverse and other online, astronomy-specific projects.
