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:
“There is no private life which has not been determined by a wider public life.”
—George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
“Oh, the holiness of always being the injured party. The historically oppressed can find not only sanctity but safety in the state of victimization. When access to a better life has been denied often enough, and successfully enough, one can use the rejection as an excuse to cease all efforts. After all, one reckons, “they” don’t want me, “they” accept their own mediocrity and refuse my best, “they” don’t deserve me.”
—Maya Angelou (b. 1928)
