Enter the RubinVerse: Unlocking Discovery and Building Community with Citizen Science
Enabling the public to access Rubin data and interact with scientists presents a unique opportunity for discovery. Citizen science has been demonstrated to produce new scientific discoveries and increase the engagement of all with science and the scientific community. During this session, we will introduce the Rubin citizen science pipeline that is customized to efficiently connect the Rubin Science Platform (RSP) to the Zooniverse, a well-known citizen science platform. This pipeline provides software tools and documentation to make it easy to create and conduct a citizen project with Rubin data and resources. Through design and documentation, we aim to support best practices and effective, positive engagement with the public and amongst Rubin members. We plan to support a large collection of Rubin citizen science projects. During this session, we plan the following activities:
- Introduce and demonstrate current pipeline capabilities including data ingress/egress.
- Demonstrate project setup.
- Walk through a live interactive demonstration of API’s and Jupyter Notebooks.
- Obtain feedback from potential users about their needs and wishlists.
- Invite early users for testing.
- Build the Rubin Citizen Science community.
This pipeline is developed specifically for the Rubin community in partnership with the Zooniverse. With community input, we hope to continue customizing this pipeline to address PIs needs and make the most effective tool for our community.

The National Science Foundation (NSF) and the US Department of Energy (DOE) 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's National Optical-Infrared Astronomy Research Laboratory (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.
We are privileged to conduct research on Cerro Pachón in Chile, and acknowledge the Indigenous communities in Chile as the natural protectors of these lands.
