A gallery of nuclear photography --- pretty/scary.

Dr. Harold Edgerton captured some of these photos of nuclear detonations using rapatronic photography to capture the images.  His photography is iconic: everyone has seen his shot of a bullet firing through an apple, for instance.  It is fitting that Edgerton would be there to document the testing of nuclear weapons: his own work on strobe tech was a quest for the strongest possible flash with the shortest possible duration.

    Saved almost every picture on this post. Some real insane shit, especially when your listening to “The Wind Below” by Rage Against The Machine
