💨 Abstract

Asteroid Day, observed on June 30, commemorates the 1908 Tunguska Event, a massive asteroid impact in Russia. This annual event aims to raise awareness and protect the planet from future asteroid and comet collisions. Key historic events include the Tunguska impact, which devastated 830 square miles, and the 2013 Chelyabinsk event, which caused significant injuries and damage.
