What we have learnt about Skype

we have learnt a lot about our planet and solar system through the Skype call with Thomas, Kim and Laura. We learnt that the nearest black hole in our galaxy is 27 000 light years away. However don't worry, it won't suck earth in! to be a scientist or mathematician or astronomer you must e a curious person and always try to solve the problem. You must always be creative and imaginative and always ask why? It takes about ten hours to drive from here to the place in the Karoo where the telescopes are. They ARE BUILDING A HUGE BUILDING to store all their data about the telescopes. if the internet goes down, then the data is safe but the webcams just wouldn't be able to see the telescope for a short while. the Big Bang Theory is the theory that once the universe was very small and now it is big. The job opportunities they have in this project is an astronomer, scientists, mathematicians, computer geniuses or you can just marry these jobs together if you are good at two of them.
