Daily Question # 341

Connect .

The  connect – Bhangmeter

Bhangmeters  are  photometers  used  on  spy  satellites  to  detect  atmospheric  nuclear  detonations . The  name  is  derived  from  Bhang ( which  is  in  turn  derived  from  Cannabis – A ) , which  Fred  Staines , a  scientist  working  on  the  project ,  bestowed  upon  it  assuming  that   someone  must  be  under  the  influence  of  Bhang   to  believe  the  bhangmeter  detectors  would  work  properly ;-) . The  American  Vela  Satellites ( B )  were  the  first  ones  to  use  a  Bhangmeter .

Cracked  only  by  Freestyler . Hats  off !
