Scientific paper

Digital cameras - inspired, of course, by astronomical research - are now ubiquitous. It seems that nothing happens anywhere in the world without it being recorded by a teenager and promptly uploaded to the net. This truism now extends to the edge of the atmosphere: a group of high-school students has recorded a video of the re-entry and disintegration of the Japanese spacecraft Hayabusa, from a plane over the Australian outback.
International Year of Astronomy 2009 was a catalyst for astronomical societies and groups worldwide to do a bit more to engage the general public - but in many cases IYA2009 was only the start of a new enthusiasm for astronomy. This is the case for one state secondary school, whose outreach work is going from strength to strength.
