that we'd never have to turn our lights on again.

The largest satellite we've put into lower orbit,

Most of the Earth's satellites in low orbit

from a distance of 380,000 km (236,000 mi) away.

But we don't need to put our artificial moon that far away.

We'd place it somewhere between the Earth and the ISS.

We'd have to make sure it maintains a speed of 27,400 km/h (17,000 mph).

so that it could bounce the light from the Sun back at us.

If you're not into falling asleep with the lights on,

This new moon might cause havoc for nocturnal creatures

Too much light at night could mess around with your body too,

leading to obesity and a higher chance of heart disease,

We still like our natural, beautiful Moon

use as a cosmic airport for future space travel.
