The celebration of the New Year 2017 is behind us. The highlight of every New Year's Eve is fireworks, and even at the transition from 2016 to 2017, we witnessed spectacular light scenographies in the air. The city was lit up by luxurious fireworks, which forced us to forget all our worries, at least for a moment, and wish for a happy and healthy one.
Tech giant Intel launched 500 drones into the air in the dark, creating a magnificent light show worthy of fireworks. It also set a Guinness World Record for the number of drones in the air at the same time. With the Shooting Star drones, Intel wants to offer an alternative to fireworks, as they are intended exclusively for light shows.
So, we have entered the new year, the year 2016. On this occasion, we have collected photos from New Year's celebrations around the world. At first, the people of Kiribati and Samoa and other Pacific islands jumped into 2016, where the year 2016 already appeared on December 31, 2015 at 11 a.m. CET, and in Sydney they prepared the most luxurious fireworks display to date. You can see below how they entered the New Year in other parts of the world, and especially in European countries.
New Year's fireworks have a long tradition. Every New Year, cities compete with each other to see which one will launch a bigger arsenal of pyrotechnics into the sky and perform better colorful choreography on the starry floor. Fireworks have been used to brighten up celebrations, celebrations, commemorations and social events since the 15th century, but in a more modest form than today, since the 18th century.
If most of the first drones (unmanned aerial vehicles) were in the service of the motherland, today's 'youth' prefers to stay on the sports fronts, where just as much, if not more, action takes place than on the battlefield. And when the drones are not in a military uniform or a sports jersey, they are trying on something else, such as shooting fireworks.
In Dubai, they broke the world record for the largest New Year's fireworks so far and entered the Guinness Book of Records. They took ten months to plan and used more than 500,000 rockets for a six-minute spectacular show.
