Description: (curated)

Atomic bomb explosion photographed by Edgerton and his colleagues at EG&G, likely at the Nevada Proving Grounds, on commission for the Atomic Energy Commission; circa 1952. Revealing the incredible anatomy of the first microseconds of an atomic explosion, this ominous fireball was documented in a 1/100,000,000-of-a-second exposure, taken from seven miles away with a lens ten feet long. The terrifying explosion caused lightning-like energy to descend the guide wires of the tower. (see "Stopping Time" (1987), pp. 144-5). (CC)
