Isao Hashimoto's animation plots every nuclear explosion from 1945 to 1998 on a world map, flashing each test as it happens and keeping a running count for each country. It is a short piece that turns a data set into a time-lapse.

HN keeps resubmitting it and sharing it as a stark way to see the scale and pace of nuclear testing.

That opening paragraph really puts the following time-lapse animation showing every nuclear explosion since 1945 in perspective: ▶ this video One of the most fascinating things is seeing how every string of nuclear tests in Russia were quickly followed by many more detonations in the US.
