On July 16, 1945, the first nuclear explosion occurred a few hundred miles south of Los Alamos, New Mexico. Known as the Trinity test by J. Robert Oppenheimer, the director of the Los Alamos Laboratory, it was the start of the age of nuclear weapons. From that day until 1992, the US alone conducted more than 1,000 nuclear tests. And, perhaps surprisingly, many of the sites where these earth-shattering explosions took place can still be visited today.
