The Global Meteor Network: A planet-sized scientific instrument - Dr. Denis Vida 
January 27th, 2023 | 12:30 - 1:30 PM | PAB 100 

Monthly Forum: The Global Meteor Network (GMN) is a collection of highly sensitive low-cost meteor cameras (>750 automated meteor systems in over 45 countries). The GMN provides NASA with measurements of meteor showers to help predict their future activity and understand the meteoroid impact risk to spacecraft. The network also observes meteorite-dropping fireballs, rocks from space that make it to the ground and help build a compositional picture of the Solar System. In this talk, Denis Vida will talk about a unique carbonaceous meteorite that fell in the United Kingdom in 2021, and the discovery of a rocky meteoroid that came from the Oort Cloud and changed our understanding of how the Solar System was formed.
