Analysis of a light pollution map for meteorite detection. The prospects of the development of a meteor network in Ukraine
By R. BukatiukSummaryThe investigation of meteorites is really important for understanding the processes inside the Earth, in the distant corners of the galaxy, and discovery the origin of life. The development of meteor networks allows scientists to explore the meteor parameters, locate strewn fields, and sometimes even find meteorite fragments. The first fireball networks were launched in 1960s and have been always expanding. In this work the prospects of development of such a network in Ukraine with the application of a light pollution map are studied. For this purpose light pollution and meteorite fall maps of the countries with meteor networks, such as Canada, Australia, the US, Germany, etc., are compared with those of Ukraine. Moreover, the land structure and the geographical features of the aforementioned countries are analyzed to represent the advantage of such a network in Ukraine. Eventually, a triangular meteor network for Ukraine is built. In conclusion, potential problems related to the start of such a global project are considered and the possible general ways to solve these problems are proposed
