Wonders of Nature
Meteors
This part of the website is dedicated to observing meteors. It was my first and most extensively experienced part of astronomy. Small grains of dust originating from comets and entering the Earth atmosphere at an altitude of about 100 kilometers. Those small particles burned up in just a split of a second but sometimes a very bright one appears, called a fireball. Such nice meteors have long lasting trains for many seconds. My main interest is photographing these particles. Meteor observation campaigns and expeditions all are in collaboration with the Dutch Meteor Society (DMS)
