Startup to create meteor shower for Olympics '20
Tokyo-based startup Star-ALE is designing an artificial meteor shower for the 2020 Olympics. Dubbed 'Sky Canvas', the meteor shower would be visible from an area of over 190 km, the company claimed. To launch the fireworks, it will send a microsatellite in space armed with 1,000 to 5,000 combustible pellets, which will be ignited 56 to 80 km above Earth.
