| Abstract: | The European Fireball Network (EN) is operating since 1963 and one of its stable stations, from the very beginning, is the
station at the Skalnate Pleso Observatory in the High Tatras. The station is sited at a height of 1788 m. More than 2900 expositions
has been made at the Skalnate Pleso station since 1964 and among them one significant and spectacular event was recorded––bolide
Turji-Remety in 2001 followed by a fall of about 450 kg meteorite (Spurny and Porubcan in: Warmbein (ed.) Asteroids Comets
Meteors, 2002]). A systematic search for the meteorite was unsuccessful. The new station having an ideal horizon will be operating
since July 2007 on the top of Lomnicky Stit (2636 m above the sea level). This station will be equipped with an Autonomous
Fireball Observatory of the Astronomical Institute of the Czech Academy of Sciences, which are already utilized in the Czech
part of the EN for several years. |
