What I’ve always found interesting about these images is how close the initial blasts look to virus/phages, particularly their heads.
You can argue that a nuclear blast is the end of the world, but a really intense virus could end us all just as easily, albeit taking a bit longer.
Some pictures look like a metroid from, well, Metroid.
