China Plans to Launch ‘Artificial Moon’ Satellite by 2020

Officials in the southwestern Chinese city of Chengdu, the capital of Sichuan province, have unveiled a science fiction-like plan to launch what’s known as an illumination satellite, or “artificial moon,” in two years.
Local newspapers reported that the illumination satellite would be designed to complement the moon at night, with its own brightness eight times that of the earth’s natural satellite, and “bright enough to replace street lights in the city.”

There are those who contend that the actual Moon itself is an artificial construct. The argument I find most compelling is that is why all of the Moon’s meteor-craters are so shallow.
