“The more you learn about the
asteroid impacts , the clearer it becomes that humans are living
on a borrowed time”- Brian May
On 30 th June 1908
there was an asteroid hit over Serbia ,Russia. This asteroid impact is
considered as the largest impact on earth in recorded history.
The impact was occurred
in a scarcely populated area near stony Tunguska River in Serbia ,Russia. This impact
flatted over (770 square miles) 2000 square kilometres.
Luckily, it caused no
human causality, because it is a forest area. This is known as “Tunguska
