Trinity Site 80th Anniversary Commemoration: The test that forever changed the world
On July 16, 2025, White Sands Missile Range will commemorate the 80th Anniversary of the Trinity Site test, marking a new era in scientific achievement.
It was here 80 years ago today that history was made – and a modern era began. It was the test that forever changed the world and the course of human history.
The test took place at the Trinity Site on July 16, 1945, at 5:29 a.m. Mountain War Time. The test was originally scheduled for 4 a.m. but was delayed due to thunderstorm activity in the area. This test not only led to the end of the war in the Pacific but also ushered the world into the atomic age.
