Part 44: The Atomic Bomb's Impact on History

Oddly Horrifying on Instagram: "In 1958, the United States carried out an underwater nuclear test near Enewetak Atoll in the Marshall Islands. Known as “Wahoo,” the experiment involved detonating a Mark 7 nuclear bomb roughly 500 feet beneath the ocean’s surface. The explosion sent a towering column of vapor soaring more than half a mile into the sky — a striking display of the immense power of early atomic weapons."

Explaining The Universe on Instagram: "A nuclear reactor is a device that generates energy by controlling a sustained nuclear chain reaction. Inside the reactor core, fuel rods filled with uranium or plutonium undergo fission, where atomic nuclei split apart, releasing heat and neutrons. The heat is transferred to a coolant, often water, which is then used to produce steam that drives turbines to generate electricity. • #explore #reels #viral #universe #explaining #space"
