This is what impresses me so much about this photo. I think of nuclear bomb fissile materials as being one of the most precise things ever humans have ever made, yet the the fireball is so incredibly irregular.
It reminds me of when I first learned that irregularity in the early universe is what enabled material to condense (probably not the best word) and eventually form gas clouds.
Edit: I was wondering if there was some connection between the two, but thanks to DanBC's comment, it seems like the actual cause is a lot less mysterious.
