If the bomb detonated at or near ground level, a towering mushroom cloud would form, sucking up soil, steel, concrete, and ...

Scientists have probed the remains of a star that died in a violent supernova and discovered that its shockwave continued reverberating through space, hundreds of years later. That shockwave ...

But the blast effects it described were awesome enough. Shock Wave. When an atom bomb explodes above the ground (as it did at Nagasaki and Hiroshima), the air around it is heated tremendously.

a shockwave would flatten most buildings in an 8.5-mile radius (13.7 km) of the epicentre. If it were to detonate above central London, the blast would be powerful enough to shatter windows and ...

They left the door open so they could watch the blast go off . They knew that they would have time to close the door because it would take 30 seconds for the shock wave to reach them. Kurchatov ...

It left some fearing a nuclear blast had occurred. The shockwave expanded outwards at supersonic speed, potentially damaging everything it came into contact with Orange smoke was sent pluming into ...
