An Italian team of researchers are said to have new clues in solving the 1908 Tunguska impact problem. Their work is to be released soon. Here's a brief material on the subject (I confess it is the first time I see a picture of the locale).

The Tunguska problem

I'd like to point out that, according to my records, the first expedition to the spot of the fall, led by russian mineralogist Leonid Kulik (1883-1942) was set in 1921, not in 1930, as the article states.
