The Tunguska Tree Fall Pattern Map — Beginner Bootcamp

On June 30, 1908, something exploded over the Siberian taiga with the force of 10–15 megatons of TNT, flattening 80 million trees in a distinctive radial pattern. Over a century later, scientists still debate what caused it.

The tree fall direction pattern is the single most important piece of physical evidence we have. Learning to read and map these patterns is how you evaluate competing theories — stony meteorite, comet fragment, or atmospheric airburst.
