In the early 2000s, Liverpool John Moores University had an idea. What if we were to build the world’s largest completely robotic telescope? Equipment which could respond so fast that we could see the first few minutes of a supernova explosion. Versatile enough to track a comet passing by the Earth. Innovative enough to carry out pioneering science and astronomy. And what if we also made it accessible to schools? For free.
The Schools’ Observatory was born, opening a new window to the Universe – inspiring students to do science and experience technology.
From the seed of an idea, we have brought astronomy into the classroom – supporting schools to take hundreds of thousands of observations of the cosmos. Engaging millions of people with space education over the last 15+ years.
