Zooniverse

Radio Meteor Zoo - Zooniverse

The goal of the Radio Meteor Zoo (RMZ) project is to conduct a comprehensive study of meteor showers, test and refine automatic detection algorithms, and foster public engagement and scientific literacy. The project takes place online, making it accessible to enthusiasts worldwide.
RMZ mobilizes communities of citizen scientists, amateur astronomers, and science enthusiasts. Citizens participate by analysing spectrograms to identify meteor echoes, contributing to a vast and diverse dataset. The expected impact includes gaining valuable insights into meteor shower dynamics, improving machine learning techniques for automatic detection of meteor echoes, and enhancing public knowledge and involvement in scientific research. This collaborative initiative not only advances scientific understanding but also strengthens the connection between citizens and the natural world.
