atomcentral | Space Nuke XR film @atomcentral | Uploaded December 2020 | Updated October 2024, 2 days ago.
This is a slow motion shot of a space nuke from 1962 photographed on XR film which brings out detail. Some believe when watching science fiction films that a flat shock wave comes out of the blast (like the Death Star) when in fact the shock wave never leaves the fireball and only bounces back inside.
This footage was released during the 1999 DoE Declassification Program under Hazel O'Leary who was the Secretary of Defense at the time. I've modified the densities of the original image so it could be seen better.
