سحابة عيش الغراب

Mushroom cloud created by smoke billows

Ascending cloud from Redoubt Volcano from an eruption on April 21, 1990. The mushroom-shaped plume rose from avalanches of hot debris (pyroclastic flows) that cascaded down the north flank of the volcano.

سحابة الفطر أو سحابة عيش الغراب "Mushroom cloud" هي سحابة مميزة الشكل حيث تأخذ شكل فطر عيش الغراب "Mushroom"، وتتكون من دخان كثيف ولهب وحطام، الناتج عن انفجار هائل. وفى الغالب يتم الربط بين هذه السحابة والانفجارات النووية، لكن أيّ انفجار كبير بما فيه الكفاية سينتج نفس نوع التأثير. فالثورات البركانية والانفجارات الناتجة عن ارتطام الشهب والنيازك بسطح الأرض (Impact events) يمكنها ان تكون تلك السحابة.

Inside a mushroom cloud: cooler air is drawn into the rising toroidal fireball, which itself cools into the familiar cloud appearance.

The mushroom cloud from Buster-Jangle Charlie, yield 14 kilotons (at 143 m • kt ^−¹⁄₃), during the initial phase of stem formation. The toroidal fireball is visible at the top, a condensation cloud is forming in the middle due to intense updrafts of moist air, and the forming partial stem can be seen below. The cloud exhibits the reddish-brown hue of nitrogen oxides.

The formation of a mushroom cloud from a nuclear test; Tumbler-Snapper Dog. The streamers of smoke seen to the left of the explosion at detonation are vertical smoke flares used to observe the shockwave from the explosion, and are unrelated to the mushroom cloud.
