Earlier this month, A/Prof Brown and A/Prof @mattkenworthy (@LeidenU) wrote about the feasibility and repercussions of a US start-up's plans to deliver 'sunlight on demand' after dark. Read the @ConversationEDU article here https://t.co/N6j809UcgW

[The Conversation - Australia + New Zealand @ConversationEDU]

Satellites beaming sunlight down to Earth sound like science fiction – and they have astronomers very worried. @MJIBrown @mattkenworthy @MonashUni https://t.co/SowGJUq38V

[Monash Science @Monash_Science]

#ICYMI Yesterday, A/Prof Michael Brown spoke to @ABCaustralia about 'Sunlight on Demand': science fiction fantasy or the next big thing?
