European Fireball Network

Local nameGrevels
LocationWahl, Luxembourg

European Fireball Network is an international organization based in Central Europe. Its purpose is systematic and simultaneous night observation of meteors and other nebular object purposes.

The network was initially located at the Ondřejov Observatory, Czech Republic, after the fall of the Příbram meteorite on 7 April 1959, which was the first meteorite simultaneously observed by several stations. By 1963, the network consisted of five stations. It was later expanded by the installation of about 15 new stations in Germany and named the European Fireball Network.

The network currently consists of at least 34 camera stations located in Germany, Czech Republic, Belgium, Luxembourg, Switzerland, Slovakia and Austria at elevations up to 1846 m above mean sea level.
