- Reason
- This image depicts the second thermonuclear weapon ever tested and the first "dry" thermonuclear weapon, with dry weapons being the basis of all modern nuclear weapons. It is of great historical significance and provides the viewer with an understanding of the small size of what was a very powerful device. From a scientific and engineering standpoint, the image makes clear the vacuum line of sight pipes attached to the device which where used for device diagnostics during the test, along with other hardware.
- Articles in which this image appears
