Comet Chasers
About
This project uses space, particularly comets, to inspire children in their learning across the curriculum. It links schools across the world with professional and amateur astronomers, to enable them to use research grade telescopes around the world and be actively involved in astronomical research. Students from this project are involved in following currently outbursting comets and other interesting comet and asteroid targets. Data from schools are now regularly featuring in research publications eg ongoing monitoring of interstellar comet 3I ATLAS, and fragmenting comet C/2025K1 working with researchers using Hubble and JWST.
