Waking up at 4 a.m.
is a unique daily experience.

A startup wants to turn night into day by launching 50,000 huge mirrors into space that will reflect sunlight onto areas of the earth where it's nighttime.
It feels like science fiction, but it could become a reality.
The company, named Reflect Orbital, has applied to the FCC for its first prototype satellite to

Everyone knows the night is dark and full of terrors, but it's also an economic drag.
When it's dark out, solar farms can't function, actual farms have to shut down, and search and rescue operations, life or death scenarios, are also hindered.

It is safe to say that not everyone is as optimistic.
Scientists worry about the impact of giant space mirrors on confused animals, whose breeding, hibernation, and migration activities are all determined by standard celestial motions.
Astronomers say the reflections will hurt their work mapping the cosmos, and even others raise concerns about the damage to humans trying to get some shut-eye.
