I love this photo. If I'm not mistaken, you can pick out the internal structure of the bomb. You can also see the plasma (?) running down the support structures ahead of the fireball.
Incredible photograph. Wish we could go back and re-shoot this same stuff in 5K stereo. Looking at this reminds me of the picture of the cosmic background radiation that one physicist called the "face of God" For some reason I intuitively feel that there's some deep mystery in this picture.
For any of you in the vicinity of New Mexico, I encourage you to go visit the Atomic Museum, which is now known as the "The National Museum of Nuclear Science & History"
Oh! I was just there! That place is a lot of fun. Unfortunately a bit smaller than I would have liked; it doesn't take long to get through it all, but still, lots of cool stuff to look at.
Plus, they sell "Communist mints" in the gift shop, which are pretty awesome. I also picked up my girlfriend a pair of fatman and littleboy earrings, which are equally awesome.
