Why are science communicators so consistently missing the mark? Is it not obvious that if you're writing an article proclaiming to capture _explosions_ at 7mths of a second, people want to see some pictures of said explosions? Clearly they're understanding that explosions are a hook to grab the reader's attention, but then they just don't include any of the resulting pictures? C'mon y'all! We need to do better here!

7mths? What unit is that. Did they mean 7μs resolution? How is that special? I see youtubers doing nanoseconds. edit: here is the important information in this article. > Scorpius is a new accelerator project planned for the Nevada National Security Site (NNSS) that will use an electron beam that can be broken into customized pulses to deliver x-rays and capture multiple images only hundreds of nanoseconds apart. So…

The first line of the articles says "seven-millionths of a second", which would be 1/7μs or 0,14μs. They also mention that the camera shot 16 frames in that period, so that would be once every 0,00875μs or once every 8,75ns Youtubers are a couple of magnitudes away from that, AFAIK

Edit: They mention in [2] that the Phantom camera they have can go to a 95ns exposure up to 1,750,000 FPS.
