>Artificial meteor showers


日本将打造人工流星雨


To glimpse a meteor shower, sometimesyou've got to wake up in the middle of the night, bundle up against frigidcold, and wait many minutes or hours. Soon, though, all you may need is enoughcash. A Japanese "space entertainment firm" called Astro LiveExperiences (ALE) says it will launch its first satellite in 2019 to createartificial meteor showers on demand, for large events or at the whim of thewealthiest among us. BuzzFeed News suggests each ALE meteor shower will likelycost several million dollars. According to CNN, ALE "meteors" will besmall metallic pellets made of a proprietary composition that glows orange,blue or green as they burn up in the atmosphere. Yet unlike ordinary meteors,which are usually around the size of a sand grain, ALE's fake shooting starswill be substantially bigger - around 2 cm in diameter (smaller than a ping-pong ball, but slightlylarger than a marble) - and released in a cloud.


为了看一场流星雨,有时候你得在深更半夜起床,裹得严严实实以抵御刺骨的寒冷,等待数十分钟甚至数小时。不过,在不久的以后,看流星所需的可能只是足够的钱。日本一家名为"天文直播体验(ALE)""太空娱乐公司"称,它将在2019年发射首颗能够按需制造人工流星雨的人造卫星。这些流星雨可能是为大型活动制造,也可能为了某个富豪的突发奇想。BuzzFeed新闻网站指出,ALE制造的每一场流星雨可能将耗资数百万美元。据美国有线电视新闻网报道,ALE公司的"流星"将会是用独家成分制造的小金属球,在大气中燃烧时会发出橙色、蓝色或绿色的光。不过,不同于通常是沙粒那么大的普通流星,ALE的人造流星将会大得多——直径约为2厘米(比乒乓球小,但比弹珠略大),而且是在云层中释放。
