Ten minutes later, as it neared its' maximum, the cloud stem had pushed upward about twenty five miles deep into the stratosphere. The mushroom portion went up to ten miles and spread for one hundred miles. From: Photos used in the 1984 Truman Centennial Exhibit. United States Air Force Photo Number: K-KE 8325.
