Eyeballing it, and applying my very non-scientific logic, I'm going to guess that fireball is about 800 feet in diameter at that point in time. My logic is that the explosion would be symmetrical in all directions. It was detonated on a 100 foot tower. So, the point of maximum width of the sphere, in theory, corresponds to a height of 100 feet from the ground. That's the center of the sphere. I'm estimating from that point up to the edge of the sphere is about 4 more of those. So about 400 feet, giving a rough diameter width of 800 feet and a rough height of 500 feet (because the ground stops the rest of the sphere from being formed).
Edit: just for some additional math fun, assuming that it is in the neighborhood of 400 feet from center to edge, at 16 milliseconds, 0.016 seconds, the explosion is traveling at about 17,000 mph.
Oh I see, yeah that distance makes sense.
The reason I found it odd was cos I was thinking we can perceive differences of several ms aurally, so I couldn't fathom how a nuclear explosion would still be captured this early and clearly within the same timeframe.
Anything for size comparison?

Based off of OP saying this was about 200 meters (or around 656 feet) you're probably pretty close
Checks out to me but I'm a fucktardsupreme. Love that name broh.
0.016 second after explosion, July 16, 1945. The viewed hemisphere's highest point in this image is about 200 meters high.
Can probably fit about 1000 elephants in that sphere
Anything to avoid using the metric system. 😜
Yep, exactly what I was thinking

Is the ‘bubble’ plasma?

The plans were on display.
He should have had a digital watch.
Looks like a scrubbing bubble
Vsync on?
is that a photo? or xray or something?
The jump was over three football fields long!!! Size compare— imagine End Zone to End Zone.
Location?
Looks like someone dropped the moon
Is that 16 microseconds? 16 milliseconds is quite slow.
Supposedly it reached 200 meters in 16ms which seems pretty fast to me
