Public Access
Along with its objective to serve the scientific community by enabling research through distributed data sources and services, the NVO intends to serve the public through educational and outreach resources on the Virtual Observatory website. The modest NVO Education and Public Outreach (EPO) effort is coordinated from Space Telescope Science Institute. The NVO provides technical support for the development of educational modules integrated into partner programs. NVO EPO coordinates activities with the international communities as well.
