Interesting traces of celestial collisions can be found in tektite meteorites. These unusual, glassy objects are the consequence of the melting and ejection of terrestrial rocks and materials due to the extreme heat and pressure produced by a meteorite impact on Earth's surface or nearby. Depending on the minerals that make them up, they can be any hue, including black, green, or brown. Tektites are crucial for comprehending the mechanics of meteorite strikes and their impact on our planet because they offer insightful hints about past cosmic events.
