This month, we’re thrilled to welcome James Scott, the driving force behind the Nordic Meteor Network – a citizen science project aimed at turning the Danish and Greenlandic night sky into a hotspot for meteor research. With student-built cameras scattered across Denmark, the network is already detecting fireballs and meteors at an incredible rate!

James will take us on a journey through the skies, sharing stories from both the Nordic and New Zealand meteor networks – including how they’ve discovered new meteor showers and even recovered a meteorite! 🚀✨

🔭 Learn how YOU can get involved
🌍 Discover what meteors tell us about our place in space
🍻 Enjoy science, beer, and good company!

Expect an evening filled with fascinating astrophysics, engaging discussions, and, as always, our astro-themed quiz — where space-savvy winners will take home stellar prizes! Plus, we’ll wrap up with Spacenews, ensuring you leave fully prepared for the celestial wonders ahead. 🪐

🎤 Speaker: James Scott, Aarhus University, Department of Geoscience
