The people of Hiroshima will be entitled to a heavenly light show in 2020 thanks to a Japanese start-up aimed at creating the first artificial meteorite rain in the world.
ALE spent seven years developing technologies that she hopes will emulate the shooting stars in the night sky by releasing tiny balls of micro-satellites.
When bullets enter the Earth's atmosphere, they emit a bright glow in a variety of colors. After simulating a meteor shower, the bullets burn completely so as not to endanger the people on the ground

ALE is also exploring the possibility of taking the startup's website promises a" whole new level of entertainment, "while a promotional video contemplates shooting stars over Singapore and Mount Fuji.
In 2011, ALE was created by Japanese entrepreneur Lena Okajima, who had the idea of watching Leonoid's meteor shower during her stay as a student of undergraduate degree in astronomy at the University of Tokyo.
Dr. Okajima earned Ph.D. prior to setting up a feasibility study for the Meteor Shower Project
"Natural shooting stars occur when dust particles several millimeters penetrate the Earth's atmosphere and "ALE reproduces this artificially by inventing shooting star particles and using specially designed microsatellites." The process is as follows: we are launching into the A microsatellite space containing shooting star particles, we release microsatellite particles from the microsatellite once they stabilize in orbit around the Earth, the particles travel about one-third of Earth and burn when entering the atmosphere. "
Artificial meteors will be visible on the ground from an area of 200 km in diameter, with Hiroshima at the center of the first If the exact date has not yet been set, more events will probably take place around the world, if successful.
