Sorry for the ignorant question- but if someone could help me with this I would really appreciate it. Ref: The current issue of Meteorite Magazine (Aug. '06) Pg 5 news article. There are a couple of references to a fireball upon impact. My question is- if the moon does not have an atmosphere as such- how could there be a "fireball" without the gasses (oxygen, etc.) to burn? I could understand a large cloud of impact material ejected- but a true fireball? Sorry if maybe I am just reading this out of context.
Thank you if you can help me understand. Take care Mike __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
