Operation Teapot MET shot nuclear test atomic bomb

[docatomics]

this must be very high speed, notice the grounding streaks to the right long before the flash, that would be less than a thousands of a second

=very good photography job on this fallen star, one of 2,268 to date since 1945, taken about 999 years of the state of my Earth by rough guessitmation; such moronic genus behind this abomination of abomination has become; it is time to take it back to the sources behind this crime

@docatomics Its not high speed. At all.

[docatomics]

@NukeMyHouse ...so the "tracks on the left hand side very early into the detonation must be from a blast chamber vent or something and not the static discharge

~any thought on this tell tale ?

=obviously I have not had time to study this particular detonation and am just commenting by eye

[NukeMyHouse]

@docatomics Those smoke trails you see are from small rockets that are fired at increments from ground zero. Basically, they are used to study the shockwave from the bomb, because the bomb will move the smoke trails.

[docatomics]

@NukeMyHouse ...yes of course, sounding rockets,

~they don't seem to make it on screen for the few shots I get to observe in photon capture, as they are usually high speed and resolution

=thanks kindly for a quick resolve to my quire

@docatomics Check out this video to see what i mean about the shockwaves hitting the smoke trails: /watch?v=13XFk5XKCWk

If you compare the size of the fireball to the 120m tower, than can you realize the size of that explosion, and this is just 22kt. Thanks for sharing!

@Xantophia On my lappie screen, the tower is approximately .8 cm high. From the base of the tower to the top of the film frame it is 5 cm, or 750 meters in the film. This means that the fireball would be on the order of 4-500 meters wide, which is reasonable from what can be seen on footage from the Trinity test (which was of similar yield).
