Every dot on this map is a nuclear detonation that a visitor simulated on NukeSimulator in the last 24 hours; the glow around it grows with the yield. The figures above are recalculated every few minutes from the same data: how many blasts were run, which cities were targeted most, which ready-made warheads people picked and what share of simulations used megaton-class weapons. It is a snapshot of curiosity, not a forecast — but it shows clearly where attention turns when nuclear tensions are in the news.
