Cartoon summarizing details of the Khatyrka meteorite. Top-left: schematic sketch of an asteroidal collision in outer space; top-right: SEM-BSE image of Grain 126A of the Khatyrka meteorite. Brighter phases indicate Cu-Al-alloys and Fe-droplets, while darker phases are silicates and oxides (see Lin et al. 2017 for more explanations); bottom: TEM image of Grain 125 of the Khatyrka meteorite showing “ladders” composed by ringwoodite and amorphous silica (see Hollister et al. 2014 for more explanations)
