Meteor Globe

A web application for visualizing real meteors detected by the Global Meteor Network cameras in 3D

At the moment it shows a static representation of the meteors detected and triangulated in the last day, downloaded from
https://globalmeteornetwork.org/data/traj_summary_data/daily/traj_summary_yesterday.txt

The Future

In no particular order...

  • UI for choosing the data
  • Selected meteor info
  • Filter by detecting stations, meteor shower, time etc
  • Animated replay
  • Orbit paths
  • Proper sunlight
  • Free camera control

Notes

The globe is a perfect sphere. At some point it will be the WGS84 ellipsoid for correctness, but I doubt it will make much visual difference.
