100 Suns

From the Bhagavad Gita, the classic Vedic text,

"If the radiance of a thousand suns were to burst forth at once in the sky, that would be like the splendor of the Mighty One... I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds."

This was Oppenheimer's attempt to describe the otherwise indescribable.
