4 Most Colossal Nuclear Explosions


Image: United States Department of Energy
One particular image of the Castle Romeo fireball has become the most highly reprinted photo of any nuclear explosion. This image of molecular muscle is often used to represent nuclear weapons in general on book covers, magazine splashes and in other media, such is its luridly threatening appearance – clouds recoiling from the expanding spectre in their midst – and apocalyptic red-orange tones.

Ivy Mike’s raging spherical fireball was around 3.25 miles (5.2 km) wide. Its mushroom cloud soared to 57,000 ft (17.0 km) in just 90 seconds, entering the stratosphere, and one minute later reached 108,000 ft (33.0 km), before stabilising at 120,000 ft (37 km); the crown eventually stretched 100 miles (160 km) across with a stem 20 miles (32 km) wide. The nature of the device was such that it produced large quantities of fallout, lethal radioactive particles raining down on Earth.

Detonated on November 1, 1952 at Enewetak, an atoll in the Pacific Ocean, the 82-tonne block of a device codenamed Mike yielded an estimated 10.4 megatons of explosive power – almost 500 times that of the bomb dropped on Nagasaki. Ivy Mike is generally considered the world’s first triumphant test of an H bomb. The blast obliterated the island of Elugelab, creating an underwater crater 6,240 ft (1.9 km) wide and 164 ft (50 m) deep where the landmass had been.

If ever there was a picture of beauty belying a deeper cruelty, if ever there was an image of our power to cause untold harm, if ever there was a sign of man’s capacity to tap Mother Nature’s energy only to ravage her – the giant, rising mass of the mushroom cloud is it. Since their inception in the 1940s under the aegis of the Manhattan Project, through the better-than-you Cold War standoff when their threat loomed like the Sword of Damocles, nuclear explosions have become symbols of the modern world.

Want to Be Beautiful?

Every woman wants to be beautiful. However, some women have some imperfections with their bodies. If that applies to you, don't worry..i'll give you some tips...simple homemade beauty recipes. Girls first things you should know 5 basic skin types.

There are five basic skin types. They are

  • Normal skin
  • Dry skin
  • Oily skin
  • Combination skin
  • Sensitive skin
Normal Skin



Normal skin has a fine even texture with a supple and smooth surface. It has a proper balance between oil and moisture contents and is therefore moist and is neither greasy nor dry. The pores of normal skin are small and the overall skin tone is even. It looks clear and does not develop spots and blemishes. The pores of the skin are fine and barely visible. It reflects good health and needs gentle treatment.

Dry skin


Dry skin has a dry parched appearance and has a tendency to flake easily. It is prone to wrinkles and lines. This is due to the inability to retain moisture as well as the insufficient production of sebum by the sebaceous glands. Dry skin often has problems in cold weather and ages faster than normal or oily skin. Constant protection is very important. It needs a moisturiser during the day and a good cream at night.


Oily skin

As its name implies, oily skin is slightly to moderately greasy. This type of skin is caused by the over secretion of sebum making the skin surface oily. The excess oil on the surface of the skin attracts dirt and dust from the environment. Oily skin is also prone to black heads, white heads, spots, pimples and such skin will never be clear. This type of skin needs to be cleansed thoroughly.


Combination skin

This type of skin is very common. As the name suggests, it is a combination of both oily and dry skin with certain areas of the face oily and the rest dry. Usually there is a central greasy panel consisting of the forehead, nose and chin and a dry panel consisting of cheeks and the areas around the eyes and mouth. The greasy central panel is referred to as T - Zone. In such cases, each part of the face should be treated accordingly - the dry areas as for dry skin and the central panel as for oily skin and use skin care products made especially for combination skin.


Sensitive skin



This type of skin has a fine texture and is very sensitive to changes in the climate. This skin type show the disadvantages of bleaching, waxing, threading, perfumes, temperature extremes, soap etc and for men sun, perfumes, shaving cream etc. People with this skin type should avoid products with dyes, perfumes, or unnecessary chemical ingredients that may irritate the skin.
It is important to note that while all of these recipes contain natural ingredients, even natural ingredients can cause allergic reactions in some individuals. It is imperative that you test any substance on a small area of skin (preferably on the inner arm area) before using in the recommended way.
