Must see.

The creator of this masterpiece deserves recognition....I’m attempting to learn his name.

He has said on his final day he’ll look back on this project as his greatest memory.

What a challenge...projecting rectangular images on a vertical canvas.

“America’s biggest birthday candle”

[Ann Archy]

I heard he had onky 3 weeks to get this together!

[Yogafist]

That’s amazing. Here is a youtube video of that, seems it is five hours long.

Very nice! Great way to start off 2026!

[jonrick46]

This creation is a masterpiece achievement!

Haven’t watched it yet, but I’ll assume it is better and more respectful than the graffiti applied to Westminster Abbey.

[spacejunkie2001]

This is fantastic!

We’re going Saturday night.

They did the same thing to celebrate Apollo 11’s fiftieth anniversary.

AMERICA!

[pfflier]

That is a spectacular light show. The narrative is the history as I learned it when they still taught it in school. No revisionist crap there. Good job!!

[chiller]

Let me know cyclotic how they handle the audio....... if it’s just for those on the elipse, or on wifi/bluetooth in the area for people viewing from parked cars.

Curious

FYI, for those in DC metro....it’s only running until the 5th, or 7th ???

On the hour, from 7 to midnight, iirc

All I saw was a Cosco Ad

I figured out the faded “continue” tab.

It was a pretty nice view.

I’m sure that Trump will do many things spectacular in the coming months. Probably the heaviest around the 4th of July.

Trump is truly a man who loves the USA.

We went a few years ago for the Apollo 11 commemoration. The audio was incredibly good.

This will be the same. It’s up to Trump standards.
