To find out what the night sky has in store for us in 2026, we speak with Silvia Ďurišová, astronomer and astrophysicist at the Astronomical Institute of the Slovak Academy of Sciences. She explains what really happens when we see a “shooting star,” how international cooperation in meteor research works, what Slovakia contributes to global meteor science, and which sky highlights can be observed from Slovakia this year.
