Tunguska Mystery Solved



Et erunt stellae caeli decidentes, et virtutes quae sunt in caelis, movebuntur (Mark 13:25)

The Tunguska mystery has been solved.

It was a comet, not a UFO, that leveled 830 square miles of Siberian forest in 1908, according to Whitley Strieber's Unknown Country.

NASA scientists have verified this by studying the exhaust plume from the NASA space shuttle launched a century later.

Engineer Michael Kelley was able to connect the two events by what followed each one about a day later: brilliant, night- visible clouds, or noctilucent clouds, that are made up of ice particles and only form at very high altitudes and in extremely cold temperatures.

The researchers contend that the massive amount of water vapor spewed into the atmosphere by the comets icy nucleus was caught up in swirling eddies with tremendous energy by a process called two-dimensional turbulence, which explains why the noctilucent clouds formed a day later many thousands of miles away.

Michael Kelley, the James A. Friend Family Distinguished Professor of Engineering at Cornell, who led the research team, said: "It's almost like putting together a 100-year-old murder mystery. The evidence is pretty strong that the Earth was hit by a comet in 1908".

Previous speculation had ranged from comets to meteors.

It's finally thanks to space shuttle science we have learned how the 1908 Tunguska explosion was caused by a comet.

The importance of space science cannot be overestimated.

Hmmm, that was interesting. Looks like somethings will always remain mystery.

I myself has been trying to solve the mystery of the legend that forces you to have "earn it before

having it", for a wile now. Could not understand much though.

Let me know in case you get to understand the mystery of the Old Hound and the Legend

By the way, good writing style. I'd love to read more on similar topics
