An Austrian astrochemist Christian Koeberl had established that the glass had been formed at a temperature so hot that there could be only one known cause: a meteorite impacting with Earth. And yet ...

"The risk of an asteroid impact is real. It’s small ... Locals witnessed a flash, sonic boom and glass shattering everywhere as the explosion released the energy equivalent of around 440,000 ...

In a new study, my colleagues and I analysed lumps of glass found around a 5,000-year-old meteorite impact site in the Northern Territory and discovered it contains a surprisingly large amount of ...
