How did I arrive at this result?

I used the OpenCV library and invert the colors of the image to have a greater contrast between the pixels
I separated the color scales where the stars and meteors fit and I counted how many pixels were in that range of colors

To know how many meteors will fall into the water I created a mask over the desired pixel colors and generated an image.png for debugging
use the numpy library to find out which red pixel columns (meteors) meet with the blue pixel columns (water), generating an array with these values
