US startup's plan to light Earth from space sparks criticism
Original: US startup's demonstration of lighting Earth from space draws critcism
A US startup based in California has demonstrated reflecting sunlight from orbiting mirrors down to Earth, drawing criticism from astronomers and dark-sky advocates. Critics warn the technology could disrupt night skies, wildlife and ground-based astronomy, and are calling for regulation before the idea is expanded into a commercial service.
Why now: The demonstration raises fresh concerns about light pollution and the lack of rules governing commercial use of sunlight from space.
