FOXNews.com - Small Asteroids Pose Bigger Threat Than Thought - Science News Science & Technology Technology News: “The infamous Tunguska explosion, which mysteriously leveled an area of Siberian forest nearly the size of Tokyo a century ago, might have been caused by an impacting asteroid far smaller than previously thought”

What does that revelation say about the asteroid that we know might hit us in 2036? It probably has 15 times the diameter of the one that hit Tunguska and hundreds of times more mass. Now this asteroid is starting to look more Revelational. A near miss will occur in 2029 and perhaps a hit seven years later in 2036. You can read about this asteroid on my Koenig’s Interesting News Articles Blog. Just click on the natural disasters label on the right side of the blog.
