What flattened eighty million trees in Siberia in a matter of seconds — and left no crater behind?
On the morning of 30 June 1908, around 07:17 local time, witnesses reported a blinding blue-white fireball streaking across the sky over the Podkamennaya Tunguska River in central Siberia. Moments later, an explosion tore through the taiga with an energy scientists estimate at ten to fifteen megatons of TNT — roughly a thousand times the bomb dropped on Hiroshima. Around 2,150 square kilometres of forest were flattened, seismic stations across Eurasia recorded the shock, and night skies over Europe and Asia glowed for days. Yet when scientists finally reached the site, nineteen years later, they found no crater, no meteorite, and no wreckage. More than a century later, the cause is still debated.
