The Meteor That Bounced Off Earth?!

Imagine a space rock so massive it flattened 80 million trees—then just bounced off our atmosphere and kept going! That’s what scientists now think happened at Tunguska in 1908. No crater, just a mind-blowing mid-air explosion as the asteroid skimmed the sky, unleashed a blast as strong as a nuke, and vanished. Wildest part? It could totally happen again, and we’re only just getting good at spotting these cosmic drive-bys. #Science #Tunguska #SpaceMystery
