" the study concluded. "After falling to the ground, the top surface of the Trinitite
layer
was stil
l heated somewh
at by the fireb
all
and thus
developed a smooth surface."
"We calculated a
n average fireb
all temperature of 8,430 Kelvin," they reported. That's 14,710 degrees Fahrenheit. The new theory explains the tiny spheres of glass found onsite as drops that cooled and hardened enough to keep their shape when they hit the ground. It also explains why there was Trinitite found on top of the outer edges of the asphalt used around the 100-foot tower and on some objects left in the ground
zero area.
