The world did not sleep last night. From the far east to the west, the sky of the metropolises was painted as a canvas to record the arrival of 2026 with the most splendor. It wasn’t just changing a number on the calendar; It was a feast of light, sound and hope that broke the borders.
The draw for the first celebration was called New Zealand. While many of the world’s capitals were still preparing for the ceremony, Auckland cut the red ribbon for the new year with a countdown and an explosion of light in the night sky.
The rotation of the Earth continued until finally it was the turn of the Western Hemisphere. New York completed the last piece of the puzzle with the descent of the famous Times Square orb. Now the world officially breathes in 2026; A year that Earth’s inhabitants hope will be brighter than last night’s fireworks. (guardian) (REUTERS)
