The Doomsday Clock was created in 1947 in response to the growing threat of a nuclear was between the U.S. and the Soviet Union (today’s Russia). The Clock’s original setting then was seven minutes to midnight.
The idea of the Doomsday Clock was conceived by an international; group of researchers called the Chicago Atomic Scientists, who had been involved with the Manhattan Project, which made the first nuclear weapons. The scientists regularly brought out a bulletin. The Clock had been depicted on every cover of the bulletin until the publication became digital. The Clock is now featured as part of the logo on the bulletin’s website.
