Another fantastic resource is Pamela L. Stryder’s list of Astronomy related Twitters, though we have not tested it out we believe Pamela knows best! =)
This list is ever expanding and we are looking for some people to help, so if you are interested please contact us! moopytheastronomer@yahoo.com
Everyone that is posted here has a public profile, meaning that everyone even people who do not have a twitter account can view their tweets. We ask that anyone wanting to be posted here make their profile public too!
Thanks @ksastro and everyone for making this happen!
