The explosion is considered the largest asteroid impact ever observed by humans.  The day of the event, June 30, is recognized as &#8220;Asteroid Day&#8221; worldwide.  What caused the explosion has been the subject of research for many years.  The explosion that took place was a thousand times more powerful than the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A crater has been observed to form after the eruption near the Tunguska River, a sparsely populated area in eastern Siberia.  The residents of Wanawara village, who lived near the explosion, thought that the world was coming to an end with the impact of the explosion.  The day of the explosion;  A dazzling beam of light was seen in the sky, a great explosion sound was heard, and then a pressure wave formed that shook the foundations of the houses.  There was no human loss in the incident, but the environment was severely damaged.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"678\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3090\" src=\"https:\/\/kasifiz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/tunguska2-1024x678.jpg\" data-lazy- title=\"\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"678\" src=\"https:\/\/kasifiz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/tunguska2-1024x678.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3090\" title=\"\"><\/noscript><\/figure>\n<h3 id=\"h-tunguska-olayinin-sonuclari\">Consequences of the Tunguska Incident<\/h3>\n<p>As a result of the investigations made after the event;  It was determined that 80 million trees were destroyed, hundreds of deer were destroyed and an area of \u200b\u200b3 thousand square kilometers was damaged.  The shaking caused by the explosion was recorded at many observatories in Europe.  The pressure created by the explosion in the atmosphere was felt even in England, thousands of kilometers away.  For several days following the eruption, flares appeared in the night sky in many parts of Asia and Europe.  The first discovery in the region where the explosion took place due to transportation difficulties was made in 1927 under the leadership of Russian scientist Leonid Alekseyevich Kulik.<\/p>\n<p>Research conducted by the University of Zurich expert Rainer Wieler did not find any trace of the explosion.  No extraterrestrial material could be detected in the crater, which was caused by the event that destroyed thousands of kilometers of area.  For this reason, the question marks on the subject have increased considerably.  About this explosion, which has been the subject of research by scientists for many years. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/kasifiz.com\/her-seyi-yutan-kara-delikler-ve-olusumlari\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">black hole<\/a><\/strong>  and many theories such as UFOs have been put forward.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"640\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3091\" src=\"https:\/\/kasifiz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Tunguska5-1024x640.jpg\" data-lazy- title=\"\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/kasifiz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Tunguska5-1024x640.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3091\" title=\"\"><\/noscript><\/figure>\n<h3>The Cause of the Tunguska Incident<\/h3>\n<p>For nearly a century, research has been carried out on the Tunguska event, but no conclusion has been reached.  But on February 15, 2013, a small but impressive meteor explosion occurred in the atmosphere near Chelyabinsk, Russia.  After the explosion, some clues have emerged about what happened in the Tunguska event.<\/p>\n<p>NASA, which carries out research on the subject, made the following statement about the Tunguska event: \u201cNew evidence has arrived to help solve the mystery of Tunguska.  The documented fireball created an opportunity for researchers to apply modern computer modeling techniques to describe what is seen, heard and felt.  Models were used with video observations of the fireball and maps of ground damage to reconstruct the original size, motion and velocity of the Chelyabinsk object.  The resulting interpretation is that Chelyabinsk is most likely a stony asteroid the size of a five-story building that shattered 24km above ground.  This created a shock wave equivalent to a 550 kiloton explosion.  The shock wave of the explosion blew up roughly a million windows and injured more than a thousand people.  Fortunately, the power of the explosion is not enough to knock down trees or structures.  &#8220;According to current understanding of the asteroid population, there is a chance that an object like the Chelyabinsk meteor would impact Earth every 10 to 100 years on average.&#8221;<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3092\" width=\"839\" height=\"519\" src=\"https:\/\/kasifiz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Chelyabinsk.jpg\" data-lazy- title=\"\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/kasifiz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Chelyabinsk.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3092\" width=\"839\" height=\"519\" title=\"\"><\/noscript><\/figure>\n<p>Rainer Wieler, an expert who carries out research on the subject;  He brought together the information obtained in 100 years in the computer environment and performed an animation.  Thanks to the developing technology and the studies carried out, it has clarified the Tunguska event.  According to this, the comet or asteroid, which entered the earth&#8217;s atmosphere at a speed of 54 thousand km \/ s, disintegrated at an altitude of 8 to 10 thousand kilometers from the ground.  The area covered by the star, which was divided into small and innumerable pieces, became wider.  Due to this fragmentation, the resistance encountered by the comet in the atmosphere has increased.  The energy of motion was transformed into heat and sound energy faster than normal situations, and an explosion took place.  After the explosion, 185 <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/kasifiz.com\/hirosima-ve-nagazakiye-atilan-korkunc-atom-bombasi\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Hiroshima atomic bomb<\/a><\/strong>  equivalent intensity, that is, 10-15 megatons of energy is thought to be released.<\/p>\n<p>If the explosion were to occur above any settlement, the city could be completely destroyed.  Due to the effect of this asteroid, which did not even hit the ground, earthquakes of at least 5 magnitudes were experienced.  At the same time, it is estimated that the extremely hot air formed after the explosion dragged the comet pieces that turned into dust to the stratosphere layer of the atmosphere, and the dust particles were dispersed from there to the whole world.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the explanations and studies on the subject, it is not known exactly whether the comet or the asteroid caused the explosion.  Planetary scientist David Morrison considers this event to be the largest cosmic explosion ever witnessed by modern humans.  It is estimated that many large and small asteroids hit the Earth every day, but events of this magnitude occur once every 300 years.  Today, Tunguska event is taken into account in the studies carried out to detect and eliminate asteroids that threaten to hit the earth.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"952\" height=\"540\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3093\" src=\"https:\/\/kasifiz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/tunguska3.webp\" data-lazy- title=\"\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"952\" height=\"540\" src=\"https:\/\/kasifiz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/tunguska3.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3093\" title=\"\"><\/noscript><\/figure>\n<p><h5>Share<\/h5>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tunguska, considered one of the most mysterious events in history; It is an explosion event that took place in Siberia on June 30, 1908.
