A time-lapse map of nuclear explosions.
This is long (15 minutes) and starts very slowly, but stick with it, oh my god. I couldn't look away. I had no idea. I'm pretty much of a post-Cold-War generation - the first major news event I remember being aware of was the fall of the Berlin Wall - and I didn't grow up worrying about The Bomb. I feel like I maybe have a new insight into that now.
