| On July 16, 1945, at 5:29 a.m., our world entered the nuclear age. As part of the Manhattan project, a Plutonium-based nuclear device was detonated in the Jornada del Muerta desert in New Mexico, about 35 miles southeast of Socorro. The code name for this detonation was “Trinity”. Less than a month later, on August 6th, a similar, Uranium-based device was detonated over Hiroshima, Japan. Three days after that, another Plutonium-based device was detonated over Nagasaki, Japan. On August 12th, Japan made the decision to surrender, ending their involvement in war hostilities. | On July 16, 1945, at 5:29 a.m., our world entered the nuclear age.
