Trinity Site

The Trinity Site is where the first atomic bomb was tested at 5:29:45 a.m. Mountain War Time on July 16, 1945. The 19 kiloton explosion not only led to a quick end to the war in the Pacific, but also ushered the world into the atomic age. All life on Earth has been touched by the event which took place at this site.
