A Sandia supercomputer has found that the space body causing the Tunguska explosion, which destroyed hundreds of thousands of acres and thousands of animals, in Siberia in 1908 was 3-4 times smaller than what first thought. Humans should pay attention to these smaller space bodies for the sake of millions of lives.
