Here, in the middle of the desert, in what is now the U.S. Army, White Sands firing diversity in New Mexico, where the world’s first atomic bomb was tested and detonated on July 16, 1945.
Now, the verification site, called Trinity, is a national tourist attraction, open to the public only two days a year, in April and October. There are not many artifacts left to see, however, for history buffs or interested in seeing where the beginning of the atomic age took place, visitors can walk around the site.
The open space at the Trinity site in April was cancelled in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. It is not certain that the time the open space is installed in October. This video gives a little idea of Trinity’s history.
