💥 From spark to spectacle
At the heart of every firework is a carefully crafted chemical composition waiting to be ignited. When the fuse of a firework is lit, it burns down to a core of gunpowder, setting off a rapid chemical reaction.
This reaction generates a burst of gas and energy, propelling the firework skyward. At just the right moment, a secondary charge explodes, scattering the firework’s contents across the sky in a dazzling display.
💥 A canvas in the sky
The breathtaking colors that paint the night sky during a fireworks show are the result of meticulous chemical craftsmanship. By adding specific chemicals to the firework’s composition, scientists can create a spectrum of colors.
Strontium salts produce brilliant reds, while copper compounds give off a serene blue glow.
The mesmerizing shapes you see, from spirals to hearts and even smiley faces, are determined by the arrangement of “stars” within the firework. These stars, small packets filled with chemical mixtures, are carefully positioned to shape the explosion’s pattern, turning the sky into an amazing art gallery.
