This page explores the world beyond limits … The Roman candle is one of the oldest and most iconic fireworks in the world. Despite its name it actually originated in China, the Chinese used early versions for religious ceremonies as far back as the 9th century. The name came later when Italian pyrotechnicians brought the firework to Europe during the Renaissance, where anything labeled "Roman" signaled superior craftsmanship. Each Roman candle is a tube loaded with alternating layers of gunpowder and pyrotechnic stars that shoot into the air one by one, each star launching at roughly 150 feet per second. The colors are created by different chemical compounds, strontium for red, barium for green, copper for blue. A thousand years of history. Adventure in the blood. Exploration in the mind. Adrenaline in every heartbeat. Live wild. Stay wild. Thanks to @_monikitamarques for sharing Miguel's most legendary moment. #LostMyGuide #WildMoments #Adrenaline #Staywild
