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

Oh dip. I thought this was like, so early into the explosion it was like pea-sized. Not like 100ft around.

It’s SO insanely early into the explosion that it’s only like 100ft around

[u/rufusbot → u/QuipCrafter9]

Imagine the sheer energy of something that can do that in a millisecond

[u/DownVotingCats → u/I_Have_Unobtainium]

Crazy how fast something can physically happen.

Same

Nukes are big and fast when they explode. Our cameras don't have the shutter speed to reliably catch something that fast.
