Tunguska explosion in 1908 caused by asteroid grazing Earth
A new theory explains the mysterious explosion in Siberia, scientists say, suggesting Earth barely escaped
a far greater catastrophe.
In the early morning of June 30, 1908, a massive explosion flattened entire forests in a remote region of
Eastern Siberia along the Tunguska River. Curiously, the explosion left no crater, creating a mystery that
has puzzled scientists ever since — what could have caused such a huge blast without leaving any
remnants of itself?
Mặc dù đa phần các nhà khoa học nói riêng cũng như dư luận nói chung tin vào kịch bản về cú va chạm
của một sao chổi hoặc tiểu hành tinh thì việc thiếu những bằng chứng cuối cùng vẫn làm cho sự hiếu kì
của nhân loại với sự kiện này không thể chấm dứt, ngay cả giả thuyết về sự tấn công của những người
ngoài hành tinh cũng đã được một số người giàu trí tưởng tượng phác họa lại, mô tả nó là một vụ nổ do
một loại vũ khí hủy diệt đặc biệt nên không hề để lại dấu vết.
