Models ablation, pancake flattening, airburst and dark flight to ask whether stony fragments could have reached the ground, calibrated on the 2013 Chelyabinsk fall. Its introduction and Section 4 summarise the event parameters from the literature: 30 June 1908 at 00:14:28 UT, a 50–80 m body, burst about 8.5 km up, energy 10–40 Mt (most probably about 15 Mt), 2,150 ± 50 km² of forest flattened, epicentre 60.886° N 101.894° E from the tree-fall data, trajectory azimuth about 110° ± 10°. Finds a possible strewn field about 11 km north-west of the epicentre over about 140 km², with Lake Cheko about 3.5 km outside it. **1908 Tunguska event** Articledoi: **[10.1016/j.icarus.2023.115845](https://doi.org/10.1016/j.icarus.2023.115845)** Checked against the original0 ## What it's used for here The project's reference for the event parameters and for the buried-fragments reading. ## Cited by on this site 19 records [Stronger fragments survived and fell in a strewn field about 11 km north-west of the epicentre, where they…](https://mysteriesdept.com/mysteries/tunguska-event/answers/ANS0D4ECJAW70WC/stronger-fragments-survived-and-fell-in-a-strewn-field-about) Answer ANS [John's Stone, a quartzite boulder on Stoykovich Mountain](https://mysteriesdept.com/mysteries/tunguska-event/artifacts/ART0D4ECT4W0R4X/johns-stone-a-quartzite-boulder-on-stoykovich-mountain) ART [Kulik expedition photographs of the fallen forest (1927–1938)](https://mysteriesdept.com/mysteries/tunguska-event/artifacts/ART0D4ECSN84AF3/kulik-expedition-photographs-of-the-fallen-forest-19271938) ART [Fall modelling calibrated on Chelyabinsk allows fragments of 14–85 MPa strength to survive.](https://mysteriesdept.com/mysteries/tunguska-event/evidence/EVD0D4ECJJP3Q2X/fall-modelling-calibrated-on-chelyabinsk-allows-fragments-of) Evidence EVD [Kulik arrived 19 years later and the searches concentrated on the epicentre, not down-range.](https://mysteriesdept.com/mysteries/tunguska-event/evidence/EVD0D4ECJTG7D8E/kulik-arrived-19-years-later-and-the-searches-concentrated) Evidence EVD [No macroscopic fragment has been found in a century of searches.](https://mysteriesdept.com/mysteries/tunguska-event/evidence/EVD0D4ECCZ06RE8/no-macroscopic-fragment-has-been-found-in-a-century-of) Evidence EVD [Orbital statistics favour an asteroidal origin.](https://mysteriesdept.com/mysteries/tunguska-event/evidence/EVD0D4ECCFC2E5B/orbital-statistics-favour-an-asteroidal-origin) Evidence EVD [The lake lies about 3.5 km outside the 3-sigma strewn field for the most likely trajectory.](https://mysteriesdept.com/mysteries/tunguska-event/evidence/EVD0D4ECN8M4DGE/the-lake-lies-about-3-5-km-outside-the-3-sigma-strewn-field) Evidence EVD [Tree-fall modelling favours inclinations of about 30–45°, not a grazing path.](https://mysteriesdept.com/mysteries/tunguska-event/evidence/EVD0D4ECENP2P7T/tree-fall-modelling-favours-inclinations-of-about-3045-not-a) Evidence EVD [A body tens of metres across explodes about 8.5 km above the taiga](https://mysteriesdept.com/mysteries/tunguska-event/events/EVT0D4EC73G43KF/a-body-tens-of-metres-across-explodes-about-8-5-km-above-the) EVT [A possible strewn field for surviving fragments is computed north-west of the epicentre](https://mysteriesdept.com/mysteries/tunguska-event/events/EVT0D4EC9HM6005/a-possible-strewn-field-for-surviving-fragments-is-computed) EVT [John Anfinogenov finds a 10-tonne quartzite boulder near the epicentre](https://mysteriesdept.com/mysteries/tunguska-event/events/EVT0D4EC8AJ24KD/john-anfinogenov-finds-a-10-tonne-quartzite-boulder-near-the) EVT [Leonid Kulik leads the first scientific expedition to the site](https://mysteriesdept.com/mysteries/tunguska-event/events/EVT0D4EC7K474YK/leonid-kulik-leads-the-first-scientific-expedition-to-the) EVT [John Anfinogenov](https://mysteriesdept.com/mysteries/tunguska-event/people/FIG0D4EC6C25NQ2/john-anfinogenov) FIG [Leonid Kulik](https://mysteriesdept.com/mysteries/tunguska-event/people/FIG0D4EC5WE0CZA/leonid-kulik) FIG [The 1908 Tunguska event](https://mysteriesdept.com/mysteries/tunguska-event) The mystery article MYS [What kind of body, if any, caused the Tunguska explosion?](https://mysteriesdept.com/mysteries/tunguska-event/questions/QST0D4ECARP6DFM/what-kind-of-body-if-any-caused-the-tunguska-explosion) Question QST [Why have no fragments of the body been found?](https://mysteriesdept.com/mysteries/tunguska-event/questions/QST0D4ECB8A5SWD/why-have-no-fragments-of-the-body-been-found) Question QST [Evenki residents (anonymous): Reported a stone that appeared "from nowhere" in the destroyed forest…](https://mysteriesdept.com/mysteries/tunguska-event/accounts/WIT0D4ECAGW1G1D/evenki-residents-anonymous-reported-a-stone-that-appeared) WIT ## Cite it ``` Carbognani, A., Di Martino, M., & Stirpe, G.
