Broadening the Hubble Audience Base

BASIC TENET: "It should be possible to combine the strong public response to the Hubble Heritage images, the extensive educational expertise/infrastructure/audience of OPO, and the potential for citizen science embodied by the new generation of archival products/tools (e.g., galaxy zoo), too engender a new level of interaction between Hubble and the community.”

– Matt Mountain
