The visible phenomena due to the burst were widespread and quite intense; a very large area of the Pacific was illuminated by the auroral phenomena, from far south of the south magnetic conjugate area (Tongatapu) through the burst area to far north of the north conjugate area (French Frigate Shoals). At twilight after the burst, resonant scattering of light from lithium and other debris was observed at Johnston and French Frigate Shoals for many days confirming the long time presence of debris in the atmosphere.

The triangle becomes the symbol of sex and fertility and transforms into a transcendental object ready to be worshipped on the altar. Natural laws are written in the language of mathematics. Its symbols are triangles, circles and other geometrical figures. Without them, it is impossible to comprehend a single word.
