I am watching "Earth: The Making of a Planet" on Nat Geo right now and they are talking about Chixalub impact and I was wondering, probably something simple,............................but,

If an asteroid the sixe of Chixalub hits the Earth where does the "fire" from impact come from?? Is it because it was still burning from entry. Because I don't understand how 2 object crashing together can create a flaming impact and "burn" up everything.

Hi

We had a great time at the European Tektite Forum 2011 in Brno, Czech Republic, hosted by Milan Trnka.

I have uploaded a load of unedited photos onto my site at http://www.tektites.co.uk/european-tektite-forum-2011.html

I hope to edit the photos and add annotations and descriptions in the next 2-3 months so do check back!

Regards, Aubrey
