NVO Explorer

Developed by SkyServer, part of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey based at Johns Hopkins University. The NVO Explorer allows users to use the same tools as professional astronomers to work through activities and conduct open-ended research.

Virtual Educational Observatory

Developed by Project CLEA (Contemporary Laboratory Experiences in Astronomy) at Gettysburg College. CLEA will incorporate imaging data accessed through the NVO into the Virtual Educational Observatory, creating virtual observing experiences for student research.

Spectrum Explorer

Developed by Project LITE at Boston University. Users can explore spectra of stars and galaxies with a simple online tool that will draw data directly from the NVO Spectrum Services.

Digital Universe

Developed by the American Museum of Natural History, The Digital Universe enhances exploration of the sky in 3-D. The Digital Universe will draw from data in the NVO to populate the 3-D sky exploration.

CyberSpace

Developed by Adler Planetarium of Chicago. Users interact with NVO data in a museum cyber-exhibit, for example to classify images of galaxies and see models of galaxy collisions.

The Collaboratory

Developed by The Collaboratory Project of Northwestern University. Collaborators communicate with each other and with scientist mentors by creating and sharing research journals and publications.

SegNVO

Developed by The Science Education Gateway of the University of California at Berkeley. Through the Gateway, users probe informal science educators, artists, and amateur astronomers to find out what they look for from data provided by the NVO.

Digital Universe Portal

Developed by ManyOne Networks. The ManyOne Digital Universe portal will offer access to the Digital Universe through an innovative new web browser with text written by astronomy experts.
