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 wont 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.

Cool. Nothing like a huge natural disaster to shake things up a bit.
Taurid meteor swarm is the remains of an ancient comet which broke up. It is also the same swarm which is believed to contain some really large mile diameter chunks - two of these chunks are believed to have hit the Earth causing the end of the last Ice Age and 1000 years later, the Younger Dryas (the coldest period ever) - and the destruction of the then existing worldwide civilization.
Do not mess with the Taurids

And evidently flopped before and after then.....except to give a nice night show...
Chesteroids too!
And, where is the empty spot from which everything was flung outward at Big Bang time? And how fast is the empty spot getting bigger as everything races away?
Hard to disagree with you gents but as a lifelong Californian I’d like to see on land on the State Capitol in Sacramento, during Session, with Gavin Newsom in the chamber at the same time.
And for an added bonus, have one hit Washington DC too.
What about the giant Stay Puff marshmallow man?...
Nice!
Of course, he was wrong, because he said 1909, instead of the correct 1908. Shows what happens when a quasi-intellectual, unreconstructed occult maven like Ackroyd does a movie script. :^)
Tesla's death ray is known today as the microwave oven. :^)
David Hatcher Childress made the claim that Tesla's firing up of the Wardenclyffe Tower caused the Tunguska event, and that he did that to put on a show for a famous polar explorer, maybe that's what you're thinking of? :^)
Pursuant to what PIF wrote, some sidebars:
Thanks for the ping. The climatic implications of those meteor impacts is very interesting. Certainly easier to give credence to than a minuscule addition to a trace gas in the atmosphere.
Well put!
