That seems to be a great idea.
Unlike the "humanity star" initiative, a highly reflective object in space designed to cause as much light pollution as possible. Something needs to be done to prevent that from happening again. Our survival as a species depends on reliable astronomy.
- sjburt 8y agoThe Humanity Star was visible only for short periods of time at dusk and dawn (which are not astronomical observing hours) and was, at brightest, approximately magnitude 2. Less bright than many stars and planets, as well as many existing satellites. In addition, it only stayed in orbit for about 6 weeks (although it was intended to last 9 months).
