US startup criticised for plan to light Earth from space
Original: US startup's demonstration of lighting Earth from space draws critcism
A California-based startup has drawn criticism after demonstrating technology that reflects sunlight from orbiting mirrors down to Earth, effectively extending daylight for targeted areas. Astronomers and environmental commentators have voiced concern about light pollution, disruption to wildlife, and the broader implications of commercialising sunlight from space. The demonstration has reignited debate over regulation of private space ventures.
Why now: The demonstration of space mirrors raises fresh concerns about light pollution and unregulated commercial use of space.
