Hello everyone -

What is the difference between a "meteoroid impact" and an "asteroid impact"?

Well, in a meteoroid impact there are people left alive to collect meteorites afterwards.

My guess is that those popping sounds are due to the release of simple mechanical energy well after the main bolide (one "l").

good hunting,
Ed
