Wait there was a nuclear test less than a year ago?

Edit: Wikipedia says the most recent test was on 2017/09/03, ~~making this photo taken on 2018/04/01~~

Edit 2: I found the article this photo is from with more context. TL:DR it was reset back in 2022 bc the US conducted two clandestine tests.

I wouldn’t call the US tests “clandestine”. They’re subcritical, meaning they don’t generate any nuclear yield. They also report when they do these in the annual NNSA reports.
