CEMeNt network's 2024 Perseids upgrade: New FHD cameras boost resolution and sensitivity, capturing 14,999 meteors in record observations.
Rare June Draconids bolide captured by CEMeNt network on June 2, 2024 with high-resolution spectral data of this cometary-origin meteor.
Rare dual astronomical event: CEMeNt network records slow bolide against record aurora borealis during strongest geomagnetic storm since 2003.
Spectacular pre-dawn Eta Aquarids bolide on May 9, 2024 captured by CEMeNt network with spectral analysis and 98km atmospheric trajectory.
Multi-network capture of a bright Jan 9, 2024 bolide over the Moravian–Slovak border—five CEMeNt and eight CSMON stations analyzed its trajectory.
EDMOND v5.05 meteor database compiles 7.46M observations and 480K orbits from 15 networks, enhancing meteor research since 2000.
On March 17, 2016 in the early morning hours UKMON network (United Kingdom Meteor Observation Network) cameras recorded a bright fireball with an absolute magnitude of -12.5 ± 0.4m, whose atmospheric path began above the Dorset County and ended up...
During twilight on June 14, 2017, CEMeNt network cameras recorded a long and bright fireball with an absolute magnitude of -7.9 ± 0.2m, whose atmospheric path began over the northwest of the Romania and ended up above southern Poland.

Central European Meteor Newtork (CEMeNt), established in 2010, is a platform for cross-border cooperation in the field of videometeor observations between the Czech Republic and Slovakia. From the beginning, observation activities of the CEMeNt ne...
Jakub Koukal¹ ¹ Valašské Meziříčí Observatory, Vsetínská 78, 75701 Valašské Meziříčí, Czech Republic j.koukal@post.cz Meteor astronomy is a very young branch of astronomy, its development began only 200 years ago. Even in the 18th century, there w...
This article presents the results of statistical analysis of the EDMOND database. The growing amount of data in the database requires effective tool for analysis and data management. This instrument is a library of scripts in the R language, devel...

In the period from late December to mid-April there is no activity of a significant meteor showers, with the exception of January Quadrantids. Total activity of the meteor showers is therefore very low and also sporadic background is at a minimum ...
At the Valasske Mezirici Observatory are currently operating three cameras equipped with a spectroscopic system. The main goal of these cameras is recording the spectra of meteors and thus identify the chemical composition of meteoroids and also e...
Introduction The weather in the first third of the year 2016 in Europe was not favorable. Nowadays (May 26, 2016) there are in the EDMOND database (Kornoš et al., 2014a) data from the following networks: CEMeNt (Central European Meteor Network, cr...
The first results of the united databases analysis, in which we studied identification of the meteor shower from IAU MDC working list, are presented. Using the D-criterion of orbits similarity method we identified 548 meteor showers from a total o...
UKMON team created series of scripts using analytical suite R to automatically process and summarize meteor data our network produces. Peter Campbell-Burns has extensive experience in data analysis which helped us to create this idea of semi-autom...
Due to the inclement weather over the Czech Republic in February, and thus the lack of fireballs typical for this time of year, we are returning to a very bright meteor that was seen February 21, 2016 at 22:18:15 UT (23:18:15 CET). Beginning of th...
