May 01, 2026 What if We Nuked the Sun?
Humanity’s nuclear arsenal is capable of destroying all life on Earth repeatedly. Maybe it's time we dispose of it far away.

How many nukes would you need to do the job? What obstacles would these rocket-bound bombs encounter on the way? Would one nuclear explosion ignite the entire planet? What are Kirkwood gaps?
