Tribute in Light was first presented on March 11, 2002, six months after the attacks, and Municipal Arts Society presented it annually for ten years. Since 2012, Tribute in Light has been presented by the 9/11 Memorial Museum. Comprising eighty-eight 7,000-watt xenon light bulbs positioned into two 48-foot squares that echo the shape and orientation of the Twin Towers, Tribute in Light is assembled each year on a roof near the World Trade Center site. The illuminated memorial reaches four miles into the sky and was the strongest shaft of light ever projected from earth into the night sky at the time of its debut.
