Summary

We've heard of satellites in orbit, but what about a giant space mirror meant to create "sunlight on demand?" While this might sound interesting, astronomers are raising serious concerns about what it could mean for the night sky and scientific research. Samantha Lawler, associate professor of astronomy at the University of Regina, joins the show to explain what this project is and why she's concerned.
