Expanding the camera network: Meteor research connecting Central Europe and the southern sky in Chile

From a Czech observatory to the Chilean sky: we are expanding the CEMeNt camera and spectroscopic network with two stations in the Andes to link Central Europe with the 'South.' More clear nights and high altitude in Chile will significantly increase the number and quality of meteor and spectrum records. The goal is to globally map the composition of meteoroids and uncover traces of planet formation. The first results already confirm a major breakthrough.
