Tokyo’s 2020 opening ceremony may be a unique entertainment spectacular.
Japanese start-up company ALE Co., Ltd. would like to create a man-made meteor shower for the opening ceremony of the 2020 Summer Olympics, hosted by Japan.
Hundreds of multi-colored shooting stars would light up the skies around Tokyo at a diameter of up to 125 miles.
The technology for this endeavor was developed under the company’s ”Sky Canvas“ project and employs the use of a phenomenon called plasma emission.
A micro satellite, containing up to 1,000 “source particles,” would be launched into orbit around the Earth. The particles would each consist of various materials to create different colored “flame reactions.”
