In dit deel van de website richten we onze aandacht op meteoren, in de volksmond ook wel "vallende sterren" geheten.
Het is mijn eerste en zeer intensief beoefende tak van de astronomie.
Kleine stofdeeltjes afkomstig van kometen treden de aardse dampkring binnen op een hoogte van ongeveer 100 kilometer.
These kleine deeltjes branden in een fractie van een seconde op maar soms verschijnt er een heel heldere, ook wel vuurbol genoemd.
Deze fraaie meteoren hebben nalichtende sporen die soms meerdere seconden zichtbaar blijven.
Mijn voornaamste interesse is het fotographisch vastleggen van deze snelle lichtflitsen aan de nachtelijke sterrenhemel.
De meeste meteoren waarnemingscampagnes en expedities werden uitgevoerd in nauwe samenwerking met de Dutch Meteor Society (DMS)
