China Plans Launch of Artificial Moon

中国计划发射人造月亮

Plans are reportedly underway for the launch of an artificial moon in Chengdu, one of China’s largest cities. The goal of the illumination satellite is to replace streetlights and save on electricity. Officials say the satellite will be eight times as bright as the moon but suggest that the “dusk-like glow” will not be bright enough to disrupt nocturnal animals. The city hopes to launch the satellite in 2020.
