The orientation of a strewn field isn't necessarily related closely to the path of the meteor. In particular, if the meteorites were produced by a single terminal explosion, the strewn field orientation will be determined almost solely by high altitude winds. Only if the meteorites are

In microgravity, oil and water still won't mix, but they won't separate the way they do under gravity. The reason they don't mix is because oil has very low solubility in water. When you mix them vigorously, you get what's called an emulsion- in this case very small droplets of oil floating in
