From: http://www.xtec.es/recursos/astronom/craters/amazonase.htm The Rupununi event I now move on to the suspected explosion over British Guyana in 1935. The main source for information on this event is a story entitled Tornado or Meteor Crash? in the magazine The Sky (the forerunner of Sky and Telescope) of September 1939(5). A report from Serge A. Korff of the [...]
Astronomers around the world are shocked — shocked! — to once again witness a world busting impact on Jupiter. Regular readers of the Tusk know better. Notwithstanding patronizing dismissals urging us all to “move along, nothing to see here,” we know that the solar system is a far more dangerous [...] Crumbling Comet Schwassmann-Wachmann 3 Approaches Today I added a link to the ‘Great Link’s on the right sidebar to a fine ET extinction and Younger Dryas Boundary round-robin thrown last year by the Journal of Cosmology. The Journal solicited a number of distinguished contributers both supportive and dismissive of the idea the earth encountered a game-changing cosmic swarm 13,000 years ago. These papers make excellent fodder [...] Richard Kerr, the oldest rat in the barn over at Tusk competitor Science Magazine, has written a disturbingly matter-of-fact piece reporting the myth busting work of David Nesvorný and Peter Jenniskens (hereafter N&J) on the source of Interplanetary Dust and the Zodiacal Cloud. N&J are the same fellows who last month deduced massive ancient meteoritic airburts [...]
Adrian Melott [See here for a news article from December previewing Melott's March publication.] I’m still unpacking these two brand new papers from Adrian Melott and A.E. Carlson comparing the atmospheric signals of the Tunguska Event and the start of the Younger Dryas, but they appear relatively positive from standpoint of the YDB impact [...] Paul Heinrich over at the Hall of Maat provides some fine links on the big cold bangs(s):
Direct Links to “Tunguska type blast detected in Antartica” Papers and Articles Below are the direct links to the Antarctica Tunguska articles and papers: Articles are: Clues to Antarctica space blast by Paul Rincon Antarctica May Have Been Battered by Huge [...]

I might be pushing the publishing envelope here, but this Science paper was available at several locations on the web for free with no sign-in. For the time being it is now on Scribd: Therefore, a wave of micrometer sized Datura particles may have reached Earthonly a [...] Numerical simulations show that stony meteorites with masses in the 10*8 to 10*11 kg range may undergo total disruption during atmospheric entry in the lower layers of the Earth’s atmosphere, in a similar manner to the Tunguska event that occurred over Siberia in 1908 [12]. Modelling also show that at a later stage of a Tunguska-like [...] |
