    • Officials in China revealed the plan to launch an 'illumination satellite' in 2020
    • It will be eight times brighter than the real moon, and cast a 'dusk-like glow'
    • Artificial moon's range could be controlled to light up an area from 10-80km

    A city in China is planning to launch an ‘artificial moon’ that will light up the skies as far as 50 miles around.

    The so-called illumination satellite set to deploy over the southwestern city of Chengdu in 2020 is touted to be eight times as bright as the real moon, to cast a ‘dusk-like glow’ over the region, according to the People’s Daily.

    Officials have released few details on the project, but say the idea pulls inspiration from a French artist who envisioned a necklace of mirrors hanging over Earth.

    I wonder what effect this could have on circadium rhythm? Also will it effect the visibility of the stars? Could it be that it will really be a weapon disguised as an illumination sattelite aka moon? So these are just what if thoughts. It is a really interesting bit of news.
