An amazing display of drones went viral during the Opening Ceremony of the Summer Olympics on Friday.

There were 1,800 drones that were used to illuminate the sky in Tokyo. They formed a large, glowing ball that left many viewers impressed. Then, the drones broke off into a design to resemble the globe.

The Olympics represent the world coming together to compete in a show of athletic excellence. The Opening Ceremony not only allows a chance for all participating countries and athletes to be introduced, but also for feats of artistic beauty like this to be showcased.
