The recorded times agree to a fraction of a second indicating that the software used to keep the PCs time synchronized (Dimension 4) is doing fairly well.
This time sync software uses network time protocol (ntp) to maintain the PC clocks up to date.
The time signals are provided by atomic/GPS clocks and then feed over the internet through a hierarchical multi stratum architecture of time servers.
A meteoroid is a particle of debris in the Solar System, the luminous trail it leaves in the atmosphere is called a meteor, or "shooting star". When a meteor reaches the ground, it is then called a meteorite. Multiple station meteors can be tracked to their parent bodies, comets an asteroids, including NEOS. When recovered they may provide detailed information about the primordial Solar System and possibly about the origins of life on Earth.
The Observatory MPC J87 at La Cañada participates in the studies on minor bodies promoted by the Group on Meteorites, Minor Bodies, and Planetary Sciences of the Institute of Space Sciences (CSIC-IEEC).
