We are a team of astrophysicists and computational scientists dedicated to making science fun and accessible to everyone.
Scientists within the Los Alamos Center for Theoretical Astrophysics participate in a variety of public outreach activities, with the goal of bringing science to a wide range of individuals and communities.
Our outreach efforts are centered on the core belief that science progresses optimally when people from a wide range of backgrounds participate and a variety of perspectives are included.
In addtion to participating in one-time public events such as Hour of Code, Expanding Your Horizons, UNM's BEST Academy, local star parties, and more, we have a number of ongoing programs. Click on the links under "Projects" below to learn more.
CTA scientists are engaged in a wide variety of projects. Here is a selection of a few things we are currently pursuing (click on each tab for more information).
In addition to developing our own programs, CTA scientists participate in and have been supported by a number of established programs.
Our team consists of a wide variety of scientists from different groups at Los Alamos National Lab, but we all share a common interest - to show everyone how fun and accessible science can be!
