Earth Is Moving Toward Same Meteor Swarm Scientists Believe Caused The Tunguska Explosion Of 1908

Over the next several weeks, our planet will have a close encounter with the Taurid meteor swarm. It will be the closest that we have been to the center of the meteor swarm since 1975, and we won’t have an encounter this close again until 2032. So for astronomers, this is a really big deal. And hopefully there will be no danger to Earth during this pass, but some scientists are absolutely convinced that the Tunguska explosion of 1908 which flattened 80 million trees in Russia was caused by an object from the Taurid meteor swarm.

As you will see below, the last week of June will mark the point when we are the closest to the center of the meteor swarm, and so that will be when the risk is the greatest. According to CBS News, our planet “will approach within 30,000,000 km of the center of the Taurid swarm” by the end of this month…

30 million kilometers may sound like a great distance, but in astronomical terms that is not very far at all, and it is important to remember that distance is measured from the exact center of the meteor swarm.

“Depends on one’s perspective. The whole solar system is moving at an incredible pace.”

It sure does. The probably with calculating the velocity at which we move is picking a point of reference. Where in the universe does nothing move?

This solar system that you speak of, moving in an incredible pace, where we going? And what is the hurry?

Hillary Clinton would definitely know how to handle this.

Yipe, maybe I’ll go to Australia to get away from it.

This wasn't supposed to happen unless we elected Morgan Freeman as President.

I remember the late 1970s Analog Magazine had a nonfiction article that said the tree pattern of falling down forcibly a certain way and the high radioactivity meant that it could have been a nuclear explosion. I really can’t remember the details.

Buried in the "Chicken Little" article is the statement, "our planet will approach within 30,000,000 km of the center of the Taurid swarm by the end of this month..."

The moon is 380,000 km away. So the center of the swarm is almost 100 times further away.

But go ahead and have your roof reinforced, just in case. \sarc

AOC will tweet that Trump is deliberately steering Earth towards the meteor swarm and he should be impeached so we can change course.

I would think that whatever it was, tiny grains of it should be embedded in those trees.

Maybe we need to change directions and go the other way?

The tiny grains were harvested by the Russians and sold as kitty litter. So much for the advance of science.
