According to this story, there may finally be an explanation for the 1908 Tunguska event. You can read Uncle Cecil’s take: What caused the massive 1908 explosion in Tunguska, Siberia?. Italian scientists believe they have identified an impact crater, now filled by a lake.
I love science!!
Awesome.
Yeah, I know that, relatively speaking, a 164-ft-deep crater is “small,” and 800 sq miles of flattened trees is what happens whe Death chucks a pebble at us, but I’m still real glad my grandparents were on another hemisphere in 1908.

You have to think that it was quite fortunate that the wobbles of space didn’t send into the Earth about 5 hours later, and a hair to the south… :eek:
