The untold story of the world’s biggest #nuclear #bomb

Source: https://thebulletin.org/2021/11/the-untold-story-of-the-worlds-biggest-nuclear-bomb/

Designed to have a maximum explosive yield of 100 million tons (or 100 megatons) of #TNT equivalent, the 60,000-pound monster bomb was detonated at only half its strength. Still, at 50 megatons, it was more than 3,300 times as powerful as the atomic bomb that killed at least 70,000 people in #Hiroshima, and more than 40 times as powerful as the largest nuclear bomb in the US arsenal today. Its single test represents about one tenth of the total yield of all nuclear weapons ever tested by all nations.

#Sunspot AR3664, the source of the historic May 10th superstorm, has spent the past two week's transiting the farside of the #sun. Yesterday, it announced its return with an #X2.8-class #solarflare. Amateur #astronomer Michael Karrer was watching the sun when the #explosion occured, and he captured this #picture of flying debris:

"I have not seen an explosion like this in my 40 years of observing the sun," says Karrer. "So fast, so far out into space! It was gigantic."

The explosion caused a deep shortwave radio blackout over east Asia and hurled a bright #CME into #space. A NASA model of the CME confirms that it will miss Mercury, Venus and Earth. None of the inner planets will be affected by this powerful event.

THE STRONGEST #X-FLARE YET: Giant sunspot AR3664 unleashed another X-flare today (May 11th @ 0139 UT)--its strongest yet. NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory captured a bright #ultravolet #flash from the category #X5.8 #explosion:

#Radiation from the flare caused a deep shortwave radio blackout over the Pacific Ocean. Ham radio operators and mariners may have noticed loss of signal at frequencies below 30 MHz for as much as an hour after the flare's peak.

We don't yet know if this flare hurled a #CME into space. If it did, it could have a grazing Earth-directed component.
