Japanese artist Isao Hashimoto's '1945 - 1998' is an animated map showing the 2,053 nuclear explosions that took place around the world during the 20th century, from the detonations at Alamogordo, Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945 to the tests conducted by India and Pakistan in 1998.

Frightening, informative yet strangely beautiful
I wouldn't have ever guessed that over 2000 nuclear bombs have been detonated since 1945.
Scary stuff. Weird, too, how another country entering the mix makes all the rest of them light up more.
Lots of paranoia, lots of fear. Not pretty.
Wow, we really are just stupid monkeys aren't we.
America wins again.
