Starcounters - A Citizen Science Project for registering the meteor showers
Abstract
Starcounters, in Spanish Contadores de Estrellas, is a citizen science project that started in June 2018 with the aim to involve the general public on meteor counting. This paper explains the different ways for citizens, thanks to the use of the technologies, to be direct participants in the research led by professional astronomers, monitoring and helping to record the meteors in a simple, attractive and rigorous way.
