What Would Happen If We Detonate a Nuke in Space?

We have the best fans, and you guys suggest some really interesting topics for videos. Here at The Infographics Show we end up being curious enough ourselves to find the answers. In today's fan submission we're going to find out what happens if an asteroid was hurtling toward Earth and we detonated a nuke to save humanity. It's a pretty interesting idea with an even more interesting scientific answer.
