12 Jan 2000	Max	Loading... comments needed ..indeed .. a very impressive job..
4 May 2001	Jan Kruener	Loading... does that mean those asteroids might go all the way through the planet and come out the other side? or is it just a layer of clouds before the asteroid hits solid ground?

Interesting questions ! As far as I known, with that kinf of planet, a gazeous one (like Jupiter), the whole structure is made of gaz (mostly methan, hydrogen and ammoniac). Maybe the center is made of hydrogen in metallic state, scientists are not sure. So, when an asteroid falls right through it, when it's little, it burns in the upper atmosphere (just like in Earth's atmosphere). For big ones, I think they're crunched by the high pressure long before joining the center core.
5 Jun 2002	Anonymous	Loading... Yeah. they would burn up in the upper atmosphere and the farther down towards the core they go, the increase in pressure would break off and atomize weaker bits until there's nothing left.
8 Jan 2004	Anonymous	Loading... This is great I don't know what to say.
