That's not how planetary collisions work.

Earth's core is a solid ball of iron-nickel alloy as hot as the surface of the sun. Not even a huge asteroid could just go through it and come out the other side.

The ball on the bottom right, is the earth's core leaving.

BTW, the book Seveneves is worth a read/listen. It covers a scenario of something very very dense passing through the moon.

I started that book, because I was super interested in the concept, and I couldn’t continue after a few chapters. The way he writes women seemed very poor to me.

Yeah, his writing of characters is not the best. He does not come across as a people person, so I will give him some leeway.
