Where did it go?

ok, i had to read this little crappy magizine in science today and it was talking about this meteor in arizona. well it hit there, there is a big hole and everything, but where is the rock or what ever?

no idea, I assume it was blown to pieces

This is one of several surviving pieces of the asteroid that hit the ground. The original asteroid was nearly 100 feet across and was composed of mostly iron and nickel. The asteroid disintegrated on impact leaving no sizeable chunks.. only small pieces littered around the desert near Diablo Canyon.

The crater

woot 😄 I was right

Yes!! 🙂

yeey me

that little thing made that big hole?

that little thing did go faster than a grandmom with a bad hip running for her life

The thing you saw in the first picture, is only one of the parts that they (I don't know who) found in the crash site.

Found it!

When Europeans first discovered the crater, the plain around it was covered with chunks of meteoritic iron - over 30 tons of it, scattered over an area 8 to 10 miles in diameter.

It bounced.
