| Description |
English: "The extent of the cosmic airburst at Tunguska, Siberia (1908), superimposed on the Dead Sea area. The Tunguska blast was ~ 75 km wide N–S, affecting 2200 km2. This accurately scaled image shows that a cosmic airburst similar in energy to the one at Tunguska could cover a large segment of the Dead Sea and the Jordan Valley. Note that this overlay is for comparison only; the location, orientation, direction of travel, entry direction, and size of the proposed TeH impact is unknown. Source of base image: Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) SRTMGL1 DEM of the Jordan Valley from February 2000 was obtained from https://earthexplorer.usgs.gov/ maintained by the USGS/Earth Resources Observation and Science (EROS) Center, Sioux Falls, South Dakota, accessed on 4/4/2021. Modified by the authors using Adobe Photoshop CC2014 (adobe.com/products/photoshop.html)." |
