The approach even goes further, with trips to more distant areas.

H-bombs use a combination of nuclear fission and fusion and are far more powerful than atomic bombs.

Seven years after the end of WWII, the US detonated the world's first hydrogen bomb.

The world's first nuclear weapon — the atom bomb — devastated the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945.

With its depiction of the first atomic bomb explosion, the new film, "Oppenheimer," highlights the massive destructive power of these early nuclear weapons.

Radioactive particles from nuclear explosions are found in every corner of the world. Many people are worried about the bad effects of nuclear bombs.

In the event of nuclear war, the ultra-rich can hide away in their luxury bunkers that cost anywhere from $35,000 to $14 million. But what about the rest of us?

Nuclear blasts create dangerous fallout — residual radioactive material that travels high into the air, cools into dust, and eventually settles back to the ground, poisoning it in the process.

A new era of spaceflight has dawned with NASA's Artemis programme, which aims to establish a base camp on the moon and lay groundwork for a future trip to Mars. The US space agency will send humans back to the lunar surface in 2025, but its manned missions to the Red Planet won't take place until the 2030s.Meanwhile, billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk thinks he can beat NASA to it by sending crewed flights to Mars as soon as the second half of this decade.

NASA is preparing to return astronauts to the lunar surface. And this time with more ambitious goals.

Those missions, which had a successful kickoff with Artemis-1, will establish the groundwork for months-long human habitation on the Lunar surface. Proposed base camps will present unique opportunities to test technology, unravel scientific secrets about the Moon's past and present, search for the presence of water, and more.

ANS is hosting a virtual Graduate School Fair on Friday, November 19, from 3:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. (EST). The goal of the event is to help prepare the next generation of nuclear professionals and to keep early career and seasoned experts at the top of their game.
