International Meteor Organization

The International Meteor Organization (IMO) is a global group dedicated to studying and tracking meteors, commonly known as shooting stars. Comprising professional and amateur astronomers, the IMO collects and shares observations of meteor activity to better understand their origins, frequency, and behavior. By coordinating worldwide efforts, the organization helps improve scientific knowledge about the Earth's encounters with space debris from comets and asteroids, contributing to planetary defense and our understanding of the solar system.
