BULLET PASSING THROUGH TOMATO
Andrew Davidhazy
Rochester Institute of Technology

The passage of a supersonic .22 caliber bullet through a tomato causes the tomato to appear to explode. In this microsecond duration photograph taken at the early stages of this event one can see the entry and exit points sending internal fluids outwards, both in the direction the bullet came from and also in the direction in which it is going.
