| Crater From 1908 Russian Space Impact Found, Team Says
Maria Cristina Valsecchi in Rome, Italy Almost a century after a mysterious explosion in Russia flattened a huge swath of Siberian forest, scientists have found what they believe is a crater made by the cosmic object that made the blast. |
The Tunguska Event or Explosion fascinated me as a child. Glad to see some more information. Though it won’t stop the UFOlogists from spouting conspiracy nonsense regarding the incident, especially with bits like this in the article: "The basin of Lake Cheko is not circular, deep, and steep like a typical impact crater" and "lacks the rim of debris usually found around typical impact craters" and "the cosmic body, he added, which likely made a "soft crash" in the marshy terrain."
