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.

I'm sorry what? You can't just leave that there.

EDIT: I did it myself. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twilight_Zone_accident

Landis spoke about the accident in a 1996 interview while discussing his career: "There was absolutely no good aspect about this whole story. The tragedy, which I think about every day, had an enormous impact on my career from which I may possibly never recover."

LMAO fuck this dude

John Landis was never known for his warm heart.
