A map created by Japanese artist Isao Hashimoto [1] – 橋本公 – shows all the 2,053 nuclear explosions which have taken place between 1945 and 1998.
According to the CTBTO website that hosts the time-lapse video, the artist created it with the goal of showing “the fear and folly of nuclear weapons.”
Hashimoto has also created a video that simply lists the names of all the atomic bombs launched in the past century.
