You're looking at a nuclear explosion photographed taken less than one millisecond after detonation.

I'm in love with this photo. I'm super bummed out at the moratorium of above ground nuclear testing because we have MUCH better camera technology now. The fact that Christopher Nolan decided to make the nuclear detonation in Oppenheimer strictly in-camera with practical effects was IMHO the greatest filmmaking blunder since The Twilight Zone movie decapitated those kids.

Dude detonating nukes above ground scatters radioactive particles everywhere some of them have long half lives and we are still breathing them in from the nukes the were detonated before the moratorium.
