About June 17th, 1908, in brief:
- Historical events: On June 30, 1908 (June 17 in the Julian calendar), a massive and unexplained explosion occurred near the Podkamennaya Tunguska River in Siberia, Russia. The event is considered one of the most significant and mysterious cosmic incidents in recorded history. The explosion flattened approximately 2,150 square kilometers of dense forest, creating a massive devastation zone. Witnesses reported a bright blue light, almost as bright as the sun, followed by a tremendous shockwave that was felt hundreds of kilometers away. Scientific investigations suggest the event was likely caused by an air burst of a large meteoroid or comet fragment, which exploded several kilometers above the Earth's surface. The immense energy released was estimated to be equivalent to 10-15 megatons of TNT, about 1,000 times more powerful than the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima.
