The U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) and the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science will support Rubin Observatory in its operations phase to carry out the Legacy Survey of Space and Time. They will also provide support for scientific research with the data. During operations, NSF funding is managed by the Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy (AURA) under a cooperative agreement with NSF, and DOE funding is managed by SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory (SLAC), under contract by DOE. Rubin Observatory is operated by NSF NOIRLab and SLAC.

NSF is an independent federal agency created by Congress in 1950 to promote the progress of science. NSF supports basic research and people to create knowledge that transforms the future.

The DOE Office of Science is the single largest supporter of basic research in the physical sciences in the United States and is working to address some of the most pressing challenges of our time.

    Free Astronomy Resources to Support the NGSS from Rubin Observatory

    Denver, CO
    March 23, 2024 @ 12:00:00 PM - 1:00:00 PM (MST America/Denver)
    This poster session is offered as part of the National Science Teaching Association Conference.

    This poster session provides an informal way for teachers to become familiar with Rubin Observatory resources that support the teaching of common astronomy topics for advanced middle school through college students. Featured are: interactive investigations with support materials such as phenomena and assessments, short videos, and the Rubin Voices Trading Cards activity.

    For more information, please visit the conference website.
