Asteroid Day was officially established by the UN at the end of 2016, and since then it is celebrated on the 30th of June, the anniversary of an historical cosmic event. It was 1908, an icy asteroid exploded over the Siberian forest of Tunguska, flattening thousands of trees, killing a huge number of reindeers and blowing windows hundreds of miles away.
So, why are we celebrating such a devastating happening? Simple! To raise the awareness around asteroids, our bitter sweet space rocks!
