...hitting Mars, which means astronomers would be wise to be pessimistic. But the possibility of impact calls to mind a loosely related incident that occurred almost exactly 100 years ago, when something exploded above the Tunguska region of Siberia, flattening trees in a 25-mile radius, their trunks pointing outward from the epicenter of the blast. Scientists are pretty sure it was a comet or asteroid - about the same size as 2007 WD5, as it happens - that disintegrated from its own shock wave as it plowed through the atmosphere.

There's a vet clinic and an obedience school on site. In the brightly lit kennels, where a one-year-old fluffy little Bichon Frise mix might sit sweetly alongside an adorable stuffed...
