The day the sky exploded

Greetings All



I came across the following article recently:



"The day the sky exploded"



*Scientists have finally pieced together exactly what happened when an atomic

bomb was dropped on Hiroshima*



A nice quote from the article is this :



....This means the scientists involved in estimating radiation doses have

effectively been trying to put together a 3D jigsaw with crucial pieces

missing or in the wrong place - and appropriately enough, most of the pieces

merely showed what was happening in the sky. The situation on the ground was a

lot less clear.....



The full article can be found here (from the Guardian).

To many this might be a little simplistic, but I thought it was a good review

for those that just want to dip into the subject.
