Abstract
- Data collection of astronomical phenomena in Costa Rica began at the end of the colonial period (1799). Most of this information reveals the social impact that they caused in the region. Scholars of that time tried to find a rational explanation for those phenomena, especially meteor showers and meteorites, in order to contrast the religious conceptions. This paper analyzes the most representative data obtained from the observations during the period 1799-1910. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
