79 years ago today the United States detonated the first nuclear weapon on Earth. The Trinity Test exploded in a desert valley in New Mexico. It was a test of the weapon design used in the Nagasaki bombing, and almost all subsequent fission weapons developed by nuclear weapon states.

Trinity spread fallout across the country, contaminating many people in the immediate vicinity. Here is a map of the initial fallout cloud path.
