October 8, 2016 - This LSST poster was recently updated to support the 2016 "White House Astronomy Night" hosted by the University of Pittsburgh next week at their Allegheny Observatory. This event was inspired by the 2015 White House Astronomy Night held on the South Lawn, which included an evening of stargazing. The poster, created by graphic designer Emily Acosta, is being made available in three sizes for downloading. It illustrates four aspects of LSST: Science Discovery, Big Data, STEM Education, and Characterization of Near Earth Objects. You are invited to download whatever size best fits your classroom, office, or living room wall!
Financial support for Rubin Observatory comes from the National Science Foundation (NSF) through Cooperative Support Agreement No. 1202910, the Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science under Contract No. DE-AC02-76SF00515, and private funding raised by the LSST Corporation. The NSF-funded Rubin Observatory Project Office for construction was established as an operating center under management of the Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy (AURA). The DOE-funded effort to build the the Rubin Observatory LSST Camera (LSSTCam) is managed by the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory (SLAC).
The National Science Foundation (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.
NSF and DOE will continue to support Rubin Observatory in its Operations phase. They will also provide support for scientific research with LSST data.
