The 1908 Tunguska event is used to be associated with a forestfall named after its first scientific researcher -- Leonid Kulik.However association of the Kulikovskii forestfall with the events in the morning of June 30, 1908 is based only…
This paper is a continuation of a series of works, devoted to various aspects of the 1908 Tunguska event. In this paper its author would like to draw attention to some geophysical aspects of the 1908 Tunguska event. A review of some…
Historically there were two main reasons to assign the 1908 Tunguska event to a spacebody infall: a) newspaper notes about a fall of a meteorite near the town of Kansk (later claimed to be false); b) eyewitnesses reports about seeing…
The Tunguska explosion occurred in the morning of June 30, 1908, in Central Siberia, some 800 km NNW from Lake Baikal. It devastated the forested area of 2150 sq. km, flattening and scorching some 30 million trees. Before this, a luminous…
This paper is a continuation of a series of works, devoted to various aspects of the 1908 Tunguska event. In the late June - early July, 1908 there were various optical anomalies in the atmosphere. Early the Author already considered…
Till now there is no solid scientific proof for any of the numerous hypotheses proposed for the Tunguska 1908 event. Regarding the most popular "spacebody infall" interpretation it is reasonable to compare the Tunguska event with the 2013…
This paper is a continuation of a series of works, devoted to various aspects of the 1908 Tunguska event. A large number of hypotheses about its causes have been put forward already. However, so far none of them has received convincing…
This paper is a continuation of a series of works, devoted to various aspects of the June 30, 1908 Tunguska event. In those days, various sky optical anomalies were observed over a large area. In the presented paper, the main focus is on…
It is suggested that the Tunguska event in June 1908 cm-large was due to a cm-large ball of a condensate of bound states of 6 top and 6 anti-top quarks containing highly compressed ordinary matter. Such balls are supposed to make up the…
This letter presents a new solution for the Tunguska event of June 30th, 1908. The solution has been obtained starting from seismic data, is in fair agreement with the observational evidence, and supports the asteroidal hypothesis for the…
This paper is a continuation of a series of works, devoted to various aspects of the 1908 Tunguska event. It is devoted to the Evenki accounts of the 1908 Tunguska event collected in 1920s - 1930s. It is important to research accounts of…
The 1908 June 30 Tunguska Event (TE) is one of the best studied cases of cosmic body impacting the Earth with global effects. However, still today, significant doubts are casted on the different proposed event reconstructions, because of…
On June 30th, 1908, there was a massive explosion over Tunguska, in Central Siberia. A number of scientists have proposed that this Tunguska Phenomenon was caused due to the tangential passage of an astral body that grazed the Earths'…
The well-known Tunguska-1908 phenomenon (TP) problems (the fast transfer of the kinetic energy of the meteoroid W~10-50 Mt TNT to air, with its heating to T>10^4 K at an altitude of 5-10 km, the final turn of the smoothly sloping, ~0-20^o…
Mirror matter is predicted to exist if parity (i.e. left-right symmetry) is a symmetry of nature. Remarkably mirror matter is capable of simply explaining a large number of contemporary puzzles in astrophysics and particle physics…
Some examples of the events associated with falls of rocks and iron terrestrial origin from the sky are considered (in scientific publications they are often called as meteor-wrongs or pseudo-meteorites). Their possible connections with…
On June 30, 1908, at about 0h 14.5m UTC, the Tunguska Event (TE) occurred, most likely caused by the fall of a small stony asteroid of about 50-80 meters in diameter over the basin of the Tunguska River (Central Siberia). This paper will…
The author describes some stones which he found at the bottom of Khushmo River's shoal during 1988 expedition into the region of the Tunguska impact (1908). Photos of stones are presented. Three stones have traces of melting and the author…
This paper describes briefly a mathematical model that relates the parameters of celestial bodies motion in the spheres of activity of the Sun and the Earth with mass-energy characteristics of these celestial bodies and their explosion…
There are a number of very puzzling meteoritic events including (a) The Tunguska event. It is the only known example of a low altitude atmospheric explosion. It is also the largest recorded event. Remarkably no fragments or significant…
