IMCCE Meteor Showers - Observations

Introduction

IMCCE is envolved in an ambitious meteor observation program, aiming to measure the orbit of meteoroids entering our atmosphere and a search for parent bodies of meteor showers. A project of development of new cameras is going on, with the help of a grant from the City of Paris. The cameras are developed by Lheritier companie and the stations are designed and set up by us, in collaboration with the Paris-Meudon observatory and the Pic du midi observatory.

Overview

• Best of pictures of our team and experience of meteor observation
