The device was successfully detonated on July 16th, 1945 at Alamogordo, New Mexico under the code name \"Trinity\". The resulting explosion was equivalent to the energy of 18,000 tons of TNT. The immense heat of the atomic blast melted the desert sand as it was drawn up into the fireball. The liquid sand rained down, forming sheets of glass as it cooled. This atomic glass has come to be known as Trinitite.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Engineered Labs","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67701822587165,"sku":"AC-104002-S1","price":112.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0059\/0158\/2449\/files\/Trinitite-Facing-Up-Brown-Textured-Background.png?v=1791423601"},{"product_id":"hiroshima-tile-artifact-display","title":"Hiroshima Tile Artifact Display","description":"The Atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima, Japan, on August 6, 1945, was a devastating and historically significant event during World War II.
