Darwin Glass - 11 PiecesThe day it rained glass. Around 800 thousand years ago a large nickel iron meteorite that was once part of the core of an ancient planet slammed into the isolated west coast of Tasmania south of Queenstown, forming a large impact crater.

Before it had even hit the ground the heat and pressure waves generated from its passage through the Earths atmosphere
