Cool. I like how the asteroids make a low “boom” sound when they collide. I didn’t know they did that.

Great videoclip – I love it! I’ve linked & shared this via facebook too just so’z you know.

I had read earlier in an astronomy mag item that a tail or coma had been found around Schelia and that suggested the asteroid was really a comet in disguise. But I hadn’t heard this part about it being a asteroid impact on an asteroid before – awesome.

Wow. That was some impressive production value in that video. Are Goddard’s videos like this very often? Gotta check out their YouTube channel.

“…collision in the main belt between Mars and Jupiter…”

I completely misread that, and spent about three brow-furrowing seconds thinking, “Jupiter and Mars collided in the main belt? Huh?”

I not so smart.
