A Japanese company wants to use a satellite to make shooting stars in 2020 for the Olympics in Japan.
Later for the world.

A plan to make artificial shooting stars involves launching small, light-emitting particles into the atmosphere that will burn up and create a bright streak of light resembling a shooting star. This can be achieved through various methods such as using a satellite, a high-altitude balloon, or a rocket.
The particles used in artificial shooting stars are typically made of a material that burns brightly when it enters the Earth's atmosphere, such as magnesium or aluminum. These particles are released at a specific location and altitude, and as they fall towards Earth, they create the appearance of a shooting star.
Yes, the timing and location of artificial shooting stars can be controlled by carefully calculating the trajectory and speed of the particles. This allows for precise placement and timing of the shooting stars, making them visible to specific areas at a desired time.
Artificial shooting stars have many potential applications, including entertainment and special events such as concerts or festivals. They can also be used for scientific purposes, such as studying the Earth's atmosphere and the effects of meteoroids on our planet.
Some potential risks and concerns include the environmental impact of releasing large amounts of particles into the atmosphere, as well as potential disruptions to air traffic. It is important to carefully consider and address these concerns before implementing a plan for artificial shooting stars.
