Strange natural glass discovered in southern Australia has turned out to be tektites from a massive asteroid impact that likely happened around 11 million years ago. Researchers found that their chemical makeup doesn’t match the famous Australasian tektite field, suggesting these pieces came from an entirely different collision. The glass was created when an asteroid slammed into Earth with such force that surface rock melted, blasted into the atmosphere, and rained back down as glassy droplets. This unexpected find hints at a long-missing impact crater somewhere in the region, one large enough to reshape landscapes and trigger global atmospheric effects. In this video, you’ll learn why these unusual tektites could rewrite part of Earth’s impact history and point to a mysterious event we never knew happened.
