Their theory that Lake Cheko is the impact crater holds merit, but is not without controversy.<BR/><BR/>The <I>Sci Am</I> piece is interesting, but not terribly in-depth. The illustrations, however, were well-done, except for that horrible photomontage at the beginning depicting Semen Semonov (again, seriously) at Vanavara.

I just read it this weekend, unwittingly participating in the anniversary, I suppose.<BR/><BR/>The article was written by By Luca Gasperini, Enrico Bonatti and Giuseppe Longo-- apparently they are back in the Tunguska area searching for fragments of the object that caused the devastation. I look forward to reading more on this subject! Do keep us informed of developments.<BR/><BR/>Yrs,<BR/><BR/>H.Hotspur O'Toolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08222149865235117975noreply@blogger.com
