Robotic telescopes allow us to obtain images from remote, good quality
sitesThere are ONLY 3 * 2-metre telescopes that allow this for
education (and only 1 person … !)

What is “Down to Earth”?
A STEM project based around the science of asteroids, comets, meteorites and impacts
Inquiry-based science education
Multi-disciplinary (astronomy, geography, geology, physics, maths, IT)

European Space Agency Gaia Mission (ESA)
A mission to map positions (and variability) of a billion stars in our Galaxy which will serendipitously find variables of several types and NEOs.
We are creating educational resources funded by STFC, ESA, Go-Lab in conjunction with University of Cambridge.
