Clockwise from the top. a slice of a 

 three-dimensional model of an 8 kilome- 

 ter/second impact on a planet the size 

 of the Earth by a planet the size of 

 tJlars. at 0. 60, 120. and 200 seconds. 

 The gravity of the larger planet later 

 traps mantle material and forms a 

 moon. Using multidimensional shock 

 physics software developed in a collab- 

 oration among several DOE 

 Laboratories and others under DOE and 

 ARPA sponsorship, this is an example 

 of materials modeling under extreme 

 conditions. The same software is used 

 to model other high velocity impact phe- 

 nomena, including explosives, resulting 

 in fewer experiments, reduced cost, and 

 increased safety.
