The most powerful man-made explosion ever made. A hydrogen bomb with the name "Tsar Bomba" (Russian: Царь-бомба) was thrown over the Novaya Zemlya archipelago, Russia, at Monday 30 October 1961, as a part of a nuclear test project. Its blast yield was 50 megatons TNT (210 quadrillion Joules). The cloud formed, reached a total height of 64 kilometers above the sea level, making it the largest mushroom cloud ever created.
