Everyone loves watching fireworks illuminate dark skies, but did you ever wonder what they would look like during the day?

Chinese artist Cai Guo-Qiang put on this enormous daytime explosion event at the Arab Museum of Modern Art in Doha, Qatar. Guo-Qiang shows that just as nighttime fireworks are engineered to create mesmerizing light patterns, so can the chemical combustibles form unforgettable spectacles in the sun.
