The Berlin Wall fell on Nov. 9, 1989, almost 25 years ago.
The impact of Germany's nearly 30-year division, though, lives on. To show that, artists have outlined a 10 mile stretch of the border with 8,000 lighted balloons.
The effect is striking. See for yourself:

The original wall was just under 100 miles long. Learn more about the project in this Newsy video:
