History was made 75 years ago today. In the early morning hours, Los Alamos scientists, engineers, and staff successfully detonated the Gadget – a plutonium, implosion-type nuclear weapon – in the New Mexico desert during the Trinity Test on July 16, 1945. Weeks later, World War II ended and, today, Trinity’s scientific legacy endures. Watch, read and learn how Los Alamos changed the world. Visit the Lab’s new website int.lanl.gov/trinity.
