The metallic cores of the projectile and target are shown in red and pink and their dunite mantles are shown in brown and green, respectively.

These computations were performed by M. E. Kipp of Sandia National Laboratories and H. J. Melosh of the University of Arizona. This computation using the 3-D hydrocode CTH required a Cray I/XMP computer with a solid state disk approximately 100 hours of CPU time to complete. The computer graphics were prepared by the staff at Sandia National Laboratories and all picture credits should go to them.
