      The space mirror is only going to enhance the night sky by better lighting up everything else. And since it’s a mirror, you get double the star goodness for whatever you want to see!

        You mean zero stars because many nights the moon alone provides enough reflection to blind the sky essentially.

        I was an adult before i learned that in actual darkness we can see the andromeda system and the beautiful colors of our own galaxy at large with our naked eye.

        I used to think pictures like these required super expansive special camaras… and to be fair i was correct in that assessment. But i failed to realize the ultimate light sensor is simply our own eyes.

        The sky is beautiful, its sad how hard it is to catch a real glimpse of it in proper light contrast
