The intense, 10,000 °c+ temperatures of the strike vapourised the asteroid, target rock and sand, flinging the molten substance high into the atmosphere.\u003cbr data-end=\"1091\" data-start=\"1088\"\u003eFrom the impact zone in Germany some 300 km away, it landed back to earth in what is now the Czech Republic and as it flew, it cooled and solidified into translucent green, glass-like droplets of various shapes and sizes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1749\" data-start=\"1316\"\u003eIt is said that only 1 % of what had originally fallen is still intact to this day and the estimates of the total amount of Moldavite remaining are under 300 tonnes.
