Remember Those Photos?
Well, they were taken on July 16, 1945......
In New Mexico......
With a 10 foot lens that was seven miles from this event, at a shutter speed of 1/100,000,000th of a second......
The man who took these photos was world-renowned as the man who could stop time (due to his high-speed photography and film-making, he would become a professor at MIT with an entire educational center now named after him).
These are photos of the first nuclear bomb detonation.
Check out the Edgerton Center at MIT:

From the NY Times (And NOT Made Up......)
150th Anniversary of the most mis-quoted title in science history:
On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, or the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life.
Wish I had a dollar for every time I heard "Origin of the Species"
Enjoy.
Plus some other cool science stuff, with multi-media (oooo....)
Also presumably not made up.
