The researchers will collect data during the Perseid meteor shower. August 2010 is part of a revival for meteor science in the United States after nearly two decades ignored.
When the Perseid meteor shower peaks in the early morning hours of Friday morning, August, Peter Brown and Co. chair and a thermos filled with hot chocolate here ready.No save too happy to "Meteor Shower observers.
Conversely, the group of Dr. Brown uses a new optical device that he developed to track the meteor in unprecedented detail, they reveal the location of each on the way into the sky with an accuracy of about 30 meters.
Meteor is an interdisciplinary field of research "in those days, says Brown, a professor of physics and meteor expert at the University of Western Ontario in London, Ontario.
Meteor as cosmic breadcrumbs
Meteors can be an important medium for the provision of some organic molecules that are involved in the origin of life on Earth. They have cosmic breadcrumbs that show the discovery of new sources of random meteors a shift in active comets. Probe was interstellar dust grains, the satellites and the dust out of the solar system known. But about ten years ago, researchers from New Zealand astronomer Jack Baggaley, University of Canterbury in Christchurch, LED, said the meteor radar in the Earth's atmosphere from outer solar system. Then the team meteorites observed in the bands of interstellar dust Based Beta Pictoris, a star about 63 light years from Earth, which the formation of planets from dust disk is surrounded.
