Asteroids, comets and the Faulkes Telescopes

Las Cumbres Observatory Global Telescope Network and the Faulkes Telescope Project have kindly provided us with observing time on the 2-metre Faulkes Telescopes, allowing school students who visit Armagh Observatory the chance to observe with the telescopes and take part in astronomical research projects. Some of these projects have involved asteroids (minor planets) and comets.
