Photo of a Nuclear Explosion 10 nano-seconds After Detonation!

 At first, a lot of people would not know what it is in the picture. The truth is...

It's actually a ultra high speed photograph of a nuclear explosion. The photo taken nanoseconds after detonation of nuclear device from the "Tumbler-Snapper" test series in Nevada (1952). (The shot tower is faintly visible below fireball; downward spikes are termed "rope tricks"). The explosion was captured by a rapatronic camera. It is a high-speed camera capable of recording a still image with an exposure time as brief as 10 nanoseconds. The photograph was shot from 7 miles away. The fireball is roughly 20 meters in diameter, and three times hotter than the surface of the sun.

And this is the super camera which captured that historic moment
