Castle Bravo was the first in a series of high-yield thermonuclear weapon design tests conducted by the United States at Bikini Atoll, Marshall Islands, as part of Operation Castle. Detonated on March 1, 1954, the device was the most powerful nuclear device detonated by the United States and the first lithium deuteride-fueled thermonuclear weapon ever tested using the Teller-Ulam design. Castle Bravo's yield was 15 megatonnes of TNT (63 PJ), 2.5 times the predicted 6 megatonnes of TNT (25 PJ), due to unforeseen additional reactions involving lithium-7, which led to radioactive contamination in the surrounding area.

Constructed during 1727–1732, the City Palace of Jaipur functioned as the ceremonial and administrative seat of the rulers of the Kingdom of Amber who ruled from Jaipur from the time of its foundation in 1727 by Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II until 30 March 1949, when Jaipur became the capital of the Indian state of Rajasthan. The palace continues to be a residence of the royal family and is a popular tourist attraction. Pictured here is the Leheriya gate, one of four intricately designed gates in an inner courtyard of the palace. The gate is dedicated to Hindu god Ganesha (carved above the door) with the green colour representing the season of spring. photographed by Jakub Hałun
