Jack W. Aeby (/ˈæbi/; born August 16 1923) is an American environmental physicist most famous for having taken the only well-exposed color photograph of the first detonation of a nuclear weapon on July 16 1945 at the Trinity nuclear test site in New Mexico. While color motion pictures of the Trinity test were made most were badly overexposed or damaged due to the fireball’s tendency to blister and solarize the film.
