Have you heard of the Tunguska event!?
Do not worry it is not Japanese! It is Russian!
The Tunguska Event was a massive cosmic explosion!
It happened on June 30, 1908, over a remote forest near the Stony Tunguska River in Siberia, Russia.
The blast flattened roughly 2,150 square kilometers (830 square miles) of trees, but left no impact crater! Imagine an explosion which created so much destruction but the cause was never ascertained with certainty!
So apparently a bright fireball ripped through the morning sky and blew up 5 to 10 kilometers above the ground.
The Power of the blast or the air burst equaled about 15 megatons of TNT, or 1,000 times the power of the Hiroshima bomb!
Shock waves broke windows and knocked people down hundreds of miles away. Skies over Europe glowed brightly at night for days!
Scientists agree a stony asteroid roughly 50 to 60 meters wide vaporized in the air instead of hitting the dirt. This is made the rock blow up high in the sky which made sure that no large pieces or deep impact craters formed!
The explosion is generally attributed to a meteor air burst of a stony asteroid about 50–60 metres (160–200 feet) in size.
The asteroid would have most probably approached from the east-southeast, and likely with a relatively high speed of about 27 km/s (60,000 mph)!
It is classified as an impact event, even though no impact crater has been found! This was literally a fire without smoke!
Then again being the son of Nutan; Mohnish behl was a smoke from the fire!
So what do you think caused the explosion?!
Now now; do not lose sleep over it!
A long flight and no sleep will ensure that will not happen to me! One can only hope!
Shubh ratri!
