Book excerpt: Updated 2024 edition of the most popular book on the riddle of the incredible Siberian explosion of 1908, The Mystery of the Tunguska Fireball, first published in 2005. At about 7:15 a.m. on June 30, 1908, a massive fireball exploded in the skies over Siberia. With force a thousand times greater than the Hiroshima atomic bomb, it levelled over 2,000 square kilometres of the remote Tunguska forest-an area larger than metropolitan London-sending a mushroom cloud towering into the stratosphere. What was it? A wayward black hole, a crashing comet, a rogue asteroid, an exotic rock of antimatter or mirror matter, a methane gas blast from below, an alien spacecraft, a laser beam fired by extraterrestrials, or an early experiment in nuclear physics that got out of hand? Nearly a century and a quarter on, this grand dame of science mysteries still fascinates scientists and charlatans alike. Whichever way you look, the Tunguska event is a captivating journey in serious science, speculative science and science fiction. This informative and engaging book invites you to explore that journey and perhaps glimpse the truth behind this enigmatic explosion. Surendra Verma is a journalist and author based in Melbourne, Australia, since 1970. He has published numerous popular science books in Australia, the UK and the US, and his books have been translated into 14 languages other than English.
