The Tunguska Incident: Siberia's Unexplained Megablast
On June 30, 1908, an explosion 1,000 times more powerful than the Hiroshima bomb detonated over remote Siberia, flattening 80 million trees across 830 square miles. No crater. No debris. After 117 years, the cause remains hotly debated.
The event is classified as an atmospheric airburst caused by a stony asteroid approximately 50-60 meters in diameter entering Earth's atmosphere at approximately 27 km/s (Mach 80). The object is believed to have detonated at an altitude of 5-10 kilometers, converting its kinetic energy into a thermal flash and supersonic shockwave without surface impact. The absence of significant meteoritic debris is attributed to complete vaporization during atmospheric entry. NASA designates this as the largest impact event in recorded human history.
