A Japanese startup called Star-ALE is planning to create a man-made meteor shower for the opening ceremonies of the Tokyo 2020 Olympics. To make their “Sky Canvas” pyrotechnics show happen, Star-ALE will launch a series of micro satellites into space carrying 1,000 pellets of various gases and elements that ignite and glow as they re-enter Earth’s atmosphere. Will the 2020 Olympics be kicked off with a man-made meteor shower? We look at the idea on the Lip News with Joya Mia Italiano and Melvin Robert.
