The expanding vapor cloud is similar to the clouds that form when fighter jets fly at high speeds and low altitudes in humid air. Low pressures exist behind the shock waves, and the water vapor becomes visible. Once the shock waves have passed the original clouds reappear, because the high concentrations of water that was in those clouds is still there.

That force of that shockwave is amazing, moving clouds away.

Ah the KZread physicist. Thanks for the advice. You know that X-rays are invisible to the naked eye? The fireball is caused by high energy gamma rays produced in the fission process by ripping the electrons off the nuclei. This plasma then can emit X-rays depending on the temperature but they do not cause any glow. The light the camera captures comes from temperatures of several 1000 degree celcius, unlike gamma rays, which are produced by schwarzschild bodies at several million degrees. So everything that happens is just a cascade of light with lower and lower energy scattering on electrons. Between the initial glow and the next frame the plasma has already cooled to only a few thousand degrees.

Love it or hate it, but I am sure this humanity will need it one day, it depends all on the use - I hope this humanity will detect that someday.
