This is interesting and counterintuitive — because of how the energy proportions itself (e.g. visible vs. infrared), kiloton-range nuclear weapons are brighter than megaton-range weapons, apparently.pic.twitter.com/AgRnRpBY8Y

Wonder if this effect is due to sorround atmosphere? Would same effect occur in space. Know the double flash is dependent on atmosphere. Could this be too?
Glasstone says that brightness is greatly increased in high-altitude detonations. Which makes sense — less energy being deposited into atmosphere means reduction in blast and thermal. Would imagine outer space even brighter for same reason.pic.twitter.com/dZsB97pPcH
