Exploring the Secret Nuclear Complexes of the Manhattan Project

Exploring the Secret Nuclear Complexes of the Manhattan Project | Päivät | Scoop.it

B Reactor Control Console, Source of Nagasaki Bomb Plutonium, Hanford Nuclear Reservation, WA 1944

“It is an enduring paradox and essential human tragedy that so much selfless devotion to a cause, so much creative intellectual energy, and so many good intentions gave birth to such a monstrous reality.” These are the words of photographer Martin Miller uses to describe the Manhattan Project, the United States government program that ran from 1942 to 1945 and resulted in the world’s first nuclear weapons. Miller explored two of the facilities that were central to this program, and which were top secret in their time, taking the pictures featured here. It’s amazing to think that within these walls, work was undertaken that would end the lives of thousands.

The Attack on Pearl Harbor in Pictures

The Attack on Pearl Harbor in Pictures | Päivät | Scoop.it

December 7th, 1941 began like most other Sunday mornings at the Unites States Naval base in Pearl Harbor, on the Hawaiian island of Oahu. Yet the tranquility of dawn spreading across the tropical waters would not last long.

Shortly before 8:00 am, the lagoon harbor experienced the devastation of a surprise attack that saw five battleships sunk, over a dozen other vessels run aground or damaged, 188 airplanes destroyed, and as many as 2,402 Americans killed, with another 1,282 wounded. Yet a list of such Pearl Harbor facts does little justice to the destruction that was meted out that day. One can only imagine what it must have been like to be there. Unquenchable fires raged aboard the stricken American craft that day, a nation was stunned, and the course of history was inexorably altered.

Exploring the Abandoned Island of Drug Lord Pablo Escobar

Exploring the Abandoned Island of Drug Lord Pablo Escobar | Päivät | Scoop.it

The swimming pool lies empty and drained of water. A gentle breeze stirs the palm leaves, and the faint lapping of the surf can be heard. Other than that, though, there is no sound. And looking at these eerie, peaceful and dilapidated surroundings, it’s hard to imagine the wild parties that once rocked these grounds – the music, the dancing, and the laughter.

The Abandoned Poison Gas Plant of Okunoshima Island | Päivät | Scoop.it

This tiny island boasts abundant, lush vegetation and sandy beaches and is surrounded by the beautiful, blue Seto Inland Sea. It is also home to many cute, furry bunnies, some of which will even climb onto people’s laps for food. However, despite its family friendly appeal, this is also a place with a horrifying past that brought sickness to the island’s workers and death to thousands in another country.

The 10 Weirdest-Named Shark Species

The 10 Weirdest-Named Shark Species | Päivät | Scoop.it

The bowmouth guitarfish is actually a ray, though due to its shark-like body is sometimes called a shark ray. It's just about the coolest-looking shark there is (science). It's found all over the tropical sections of the Pacific and Indian Oceans, and survives well in captivity--but is relatively rare, due to accidental catch, fishing (its fins are eaten in some Asian countries), and habitat destruction.
