Starting up

Hi.
First to inform you all, this year is the International Year of Astronomy and all over Ireland there is an astronomy competition for secondary schools.
We are given a project, a mentor and must create a blog containing our research. The winners will win a trip to Chile and get to use the VLT (Very Large Telescope). To date we don't know what our project is but, along with Gregg Hallinan, our mentor (a galactic astronomer based in NUI Galway), Ms. Herbert and Mr. Ryder, the teachers who got us involved, we have been getting familiar with the Faulkes Telescope online.
That's all for the moment, but once we get started you'll be hearing all about us.

Ciaran, Clara, David and Niamh.
