On June 30 of 1908 occurred the last important impact of a celestial body on the earth. It was in Tunguska, in Central Siberia. For this reason, on December 6, 2016, the UN declared June 30 International Asteroid Day to raise awareness of the danger of impacts with these objects.
On the occasion of the First International Day of Asteroids, Ses Salines City Council and the Institut Mallorquí de Ciències de l'Espai organize a series of events in Colònia de Sant Jordi free of charge and open to all audiences on July 1 and 8.
