August 6, 1945 in the B-29 Super-fortress Enola Gay piloted
by Colonel Paul Tibitts and crew dropped "LITTLE BOY"
atomic bomb on Hiroshima Japan... the bombardier yelled... "BOMB
AWAY!" they turned the plane around and got out of the
wake that was to follow, they looked back and this is what
they saw. You then look inside the point of impact hole and
you see what the crew saw as they left the area... churning
clouds of red, blue, green and they could only imagine what
was in that cloud that ended the war, the bomb that change
destiny...
There
is only one of these Kaleidoscopes in the world.
LITTLE
BOY

Justin,
from Meredith High School, looking into THE LITTLE BOY
Kaleidoscope... He's viewing history a little differently, and
by adding science and a few mirrors - can make learning more
interesting from another angle.
