  | Photos of the First Few Microseconds of an Atomic Blast Ever wondered what an atomic blast looks like before it obliterates everything around it? Before the smoke, the mushroom cloud, the devastation, it's really quite amazing to see the first few fractions of an atomic bomb upon detonation. Edgerton built a special lens 10 feet long for his camera which was set up in a bunker 7 miles from the source of the blast which was triggered Nevada - the bomb placed atop a steel gantry anchored to the desert floor by guide wires. The exposures are at 1/100,000,000ths of a second. Due to the extremely high shutter speeds, the image quality and color depth is limited in these photos.  Automatic Camera situated 7 miles from blast with 10 foot lens. Shutter speed equaled 1/100,000,000 of-a-second exposure.  With energy so great, the electric like energy runs down the towers guide wires and turning the desert floor to glass.  With a planet of fire, Joshua tree's near the base get vaporized in just microseconds.   RMS Carpathia: actually the way the iron golems look in this game.. it looks like trailer trash redneck borgs.. because they are just diffrent metals all put togeather and when they walk they look like they are going to fall over  Get your own personal forum Like these ones - Personal forum listing Bored @ work?
