The night sky is going to get a new partner soon. Chinese scientists are planning to set up artificial moons in the sky to illuminate night city by 2020.
It is reported from a report published in US-based news magazine 'Time'.
According to Chinese state media, the time has been told that scientists plan to set up a man-made moon in the sky of Chengdu, the capital of the southwestern Sichuan Province. The artificial moon will be used in such a way that the sunlight reflects the light of the night as the original moon. The moon is basically a satellite.
If the artificial moon is installed, it will not be necessary to build chaos in the city of Chengdu at night and to make roads. According to the scientists, it is eight times more bright than the original moon in the eyes of ordinary people. And the road lights will be brighter than the lamp five times less.
It will rotate just five hundred kilometers away from the Earth. Where the original moon located 3 million 80 thousand kilometers away from the Earth.
Chief Chinese scientist Yu Chanfeng told the Daily Telegraph of China's Tian Fu Area Science Society that the ambitious project would not be able to illuminate the night sky all through the project. Not even whole China. Under this, only Chengdu city will be located.
If the artificial moon is set up, according to the annual estimates, more than 17 million US dollars will be spent on energy consumption in Chengdu City. Not only that, it will be very useful in the dark or in natural disaster, he said. If this program is successfully completed, he will be setting up three more artificial moons in the sky by 2022, he said.
Chapfeng said that there should be some more examinations to ensure that the work is successfully taken out and there is no adverse impact on nature.
'We will carry out our experiments in an uncharted desert. So that the light of artificial moon can not harm humans or anything, "said the scientist.
This is not the first such ambitious project like China on the asteroid. According to the New York Times, according to the New York Times, the country had planned to reflect the light of the sun in some of the northern Russian cities that had not received light in the 1990s. That is why they set a mirror of special methods in the sky, which can reflect the sun's light. But later, the project was canceled in 1999 after the loss of the mirror in the impact of the atmosphere.
Not only that, in January this year, the US 'Rocket Lab' installed an artificial star in the sky. But scientists have criticized the man-made stars for the purpose of creating hydrocarbons in the orbit of Earth or in the orbit.
