Published on 9/21/2006
Harold Edgerton built a special lens 10 feet long for his camera which was set up in a bunker 7 miles from the
source of the blast which was triggered Nevada - the bomb placed atop a steel gantry anchored to the desert floor
by guide wires. The exposures are at 1/100,000,000ths of a second.
In a millisecond the blast expands; lightning caused by the force of the energy travels down the guide wires The
desert floor was turned to glass.
In another millionth of a second, a planet of fire exists, silhouetting and dwarfing the Joshua Trees.
