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.

Famous quotes containing the words public and/or access:
“In the planning and designing of new communities, housing projects, and urban renewal, the planners both public and private, need to give explicit consideration to the kind of world that is being created for the children who will be growing up in these settings. Particular attention should be given to the opportunities which the environment presents or precludes for involvement of children with persons both older and younger than themselves.”
—Urie Bronfenbrenner (b. 1917)
“Lesbian existence comprises both the breaking of a taboo and the rejection of a compulsory way of life. It is also a direct or indirect attack on the male right of access to women.”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
