A bomb shockwave captured just after it begins to lose its almost perfect spherical shape. It is developing bulges across the surface, and the bright white spots from vaporizing bits of casing are no longer visible -- the whole surface is bright except for a few dark patches. Again, fiery spoke are visible emanating from the bottom of the blast.

What’s going on in these photos?
The roughly spherical blob is the shockwave from the blast, and the white splotches are bits of bomb casing catching up with it.
What about the protrusions emerging from the sides and bottom of the blast?
