“Tunguska, Russia, in 1908”
And here all this time I thought it was a Tesla experiment gone awry. I read it on the internet.

Neither the Tunguska event or the explosion in August 2016 can be blamed on Trump or we would hear a lot more about them.
I once read that if the object which caused the Tunguska event had hit earth three hours later it would have hit St. Petersburg, Russia. Not sure if that is correct (if they are on exactly the same latitude).

What is it about these “mini-moons” that differentiates them from asteroids? They look like the same thing to me.

So they are not the ones that will catch us by surprise...they’ll be tracked to a fare-thee-well.
So, how come they didn’t spot this one until the blast?
