  You know sonic booms? This is basically like ‘optical booms’ from radiation in water that’s traveling faster than the speed-of-light-in-water (which is less than the speed of light in a vacuum)

      This particular image is from a university research reactor. I’d assume most of those doohickeys are various measurement probes, measuring things like temperature and the levels of various types of radiation.
