With support from ICRAR and the UWA School of Physics, SPICE has developed a robotic telescope initiative that provides WA school students access to two cutting edge robotic telescopes via the Internet.

The SPICE Physics ICRAR Internet Telescope Project (SPIRIT) allows schools to access the same tools used by researchers and astronomers to observe and collect astronomical data. Students can take images of distant astronomical objects remotely using an Internet browser, as well as schedule automated data acquisition as part of more sophisticated research projects.… Continue reading
