Comet the hour as Rosetta phones home
Students from St Lachteen’s NS in Donoughmore, Co Cork, were among several schools at CIT’s Blackrock Castle Observatory in Cork as part of an EU-wide public science event to mark the wake-up of the European Space Agency’s Rosetta spacecraft which is hurtling towards Jupiter.
They joined children in Greece and Portugal on a live weblink with engineers working on Rosetta, before making their own mini- comets with dry ice and dirt.
