The first image captured of the Chernobyl disaster, taken 14 hours after the explosion on April 26, 1986, was heavily distorted by intense radiation, which interfered with the camera's film. Despite its poor quality, this hazy and partially obscured photograph is a crucial historical record of the immediate aftermath of the catastrophic nuclear accident.
