There is already a thread devoted to the Norwegian meteorite here:
http://www.unmannedspaceflight.com/index.p...indpost&p=57761 -------------------- "After having some business dealings with men, I am occasionally chagrined,
and feel as if I had done some wrong, and it is hard to forget the ugly circumstance. I see that such intercourse long continued would make one thoroughly prosaic, hard, and coarse. But the longest intercourse with Nature, though in her rudest moods, does not thus harden and make coarse. A hard, sensible man whom we liken to a rock is indeed much harder than a rock. From hard, coarse, insensible men with whom I have no sympathy, I go to commune with the rocks, whose hearts are comparatively soft." - Henry David Thoreau, November 15, 1853 |

A BBC Horizon programme puts forward a very persuading case that the Kebir crater was not the origin of the desert glass, rather it was formed by an airburst of a much smaller 100 metre sized asteroid.
The airburst generated temperatures similar to the sun, and blew a huge plume of gas out into space. The glass wasn't from a crater or it's ejecta, if a crater is formed at all , but from the fireball that blasted huge areas of the surface. Read more @Bob Shaw The program also touched upon the formation of Australites and Indochinites - no crater needed - just a loose rubble pile of an asteroid that air blasted south east Asia. The early humans and species like Gigantopithecus blackii would have been incinerated. |
