Just found this: a time-lapse map of every nuclear explosion that has occurred since the Manhattan Project in July of 1945 at Alamagordo, New Mexico.
http://www.youtube.com/v/LLCF7vPanrY&rel=0The first 1:20 covers the Manhattan project detonation, as well as the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings.
The most spectacular sequences of "blips" occur between 1961 and 1990.
It might seem a bit slow-going for some of you, but for me the fun part was the suspense, wondering when and where the next explosion would occur. I also enjoyed watching the "scores" of all the nuclear powers go up as the piece played along.
Just a little over 2000 explosions all told, with the U.S.A. accounting for over half of them.
Now,
those are some fireworks to celebrate Independence Day...
