Love that pic. for those of you who dont know, that is the nuclear test of "Ivy Mike," more commonly reffered to as just "Mike" It was the U.S.'s first Hydrogen Bomb test, equaling 12-15 Megatons. It was the second biggest bomb in the U.S., the winner obviously goes to "Castle Bravo," which was the biggest U.S. bomb tested. Biggest one in the world was the Russian "Tsar Bomba," measuring 50+ Megatons (that equals 500,000,000 tons of TNT). here are the pretty cool videos for them:
