The plasma reached a temperature in excess of two billion Kelvin, making it arguably the hottest human-made thing ever in the history of the Earth and, for a brief time, hotter than the interiors of stars.”  Photo: Z Machine Collaboration/Sandia National Lab/Lockheed Martin/NNSA/DOE/NASAvia Space photos of the day - CSMonitor.com) Zoom
