The '''Tsar Bomba''', officially designated as AN602, was the most powerful thermonuclear hydrogen bomb [[nuclear weapon]] ever detonated, with a yield of 50 megatons. It was detonated on October 30, 1961 over [[Novaya Zemlya]] an archipelago in the [[Arctic]]. The Tsar Bomba yielded 50 megatons of [[TNT]]—over 3,000 times more powerful than the [[Hiroshima]] bomb. Everything within 35 km (22 miles) was obliterated. The mushroom cloud reached over 60 km (37 miles) high. The shockwave circled the [[Earth]] multiple times. [[Radioactive]] fallout was surprisingly limited due to high-altitude detonation.
