An American startup, Reflect Orbital, has received approval to deploy large reflective mirrors into space. The ambitious project aims to beam sunlight onto Earth, effectively creating artificial daylight even at night. While promising potential benefits, the initiative is causing worry among scientists. Concerns center around the disruption of astronomical observations due to increased light pollution. Reflect Orbital intends to test a smaller-scale demonstrator, with larger deployments planned if successful. The project could fundamentally alter the night sky as we know it, prompting debate about the ethics and environmental impact of altering natural darkness.
