It's indeed ironic that while so destructive nuke blasts are so beautiful to watch.

They should tag those pix with how many shakes into the detonation they are.

Hydrogen bombs make such a wierd looking blast compared to atomic bombs. They're all bulgy and vaporous looking.

I was lucky once and visited the great man's studio at the MIT Media Lab back in the eighties. Doc Edgerton showed us a smaller golf ball looking picture, and said it was the photo he was most proud of: not the bullet through the card, not the milk drop, but this. Which makes sense because it was such a challenge to make and you only get one shot at such things.

Edgerton was born in Fremont, Nebraska, and an exhibit of his stuff was at the local county fair here in Omaha. It was a little unnerving in the middle of corn exhibits, but nice to see someone appreciating the work.
