Developed by Siemens and Munich multimedia artist Michael Pendry, this wind turbine-turned-Christmas “SuperStar” is made up of 9,000 spinning LED lights. Each blade holds 3,000 LED lights and when it rotates the lights bright up the night’s sky. The overarching reason this was made for the holiday season is because it promotes eco-friendliness. The LEDs emit the equivalent of 22,000 candles and the structure uses as much energy as a hairdryer! It sits in Munich until January 6. Check out additional images of this glowing wonder in the gallery below; long exposure photography was used to capture the spinning blades at a colorful standstill. Also, peek after the break for a video of the star’s construction and to see it in action.
