Hi

THIS IS AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

good material for vaporizied meteorites?

Just finished watching a special on Netflix with my nephew about Barringer Crater in Arizona; what kind of material(s) would you suggest for replicating the vaporization of a meteor on impact? I was thinking possibly really cold baking soda, but I don't know if it would have the weight necessary...the reason I ask is my nephew asked me after watching both your video and the program and we haven't been able to find a satisfactory medium yet! :)

If we use clean rocks, we can use the flour/cocoa for cookies later! :-)

We actually do have a real comment--what happens to the meteorites? Are they eroded? Exploded into pieces at impact? Still there in the crater, half-buried like your rocks in the video?? Just wondering.

Mom here. I'd like to put a layer of kool-aid or something dark under the flour or halfway down, etc. to see if it gets ejected. Sounds like fun!

Thanks!

Different things happen to the meteorites, depending on things like the size, composition, and what they hit. Sometimes you can find the pieces, but not always.
