Providence: On July 16, 1945 the first Atomic bomb was detonated at the Trinity test site in the New Mexico desert. The blast generated a temperature of 10 million degrees Fahrenheit and the intense heat melted the desert sand into a light green glass-like substance which is now known as Trinitite.
