The company Stardust has decided to reduce the brightness of the Sun in order to lower the temperature on Earth. This is reported by the American magazine New Yorker. It is specified that the company is based in Israel and registered in Delaware. The authors of the ambitious idea want to apply the principle of volcanic eruptions, when millions of tons of sulfur dioxide reflect sunlight back into space. Thus, the temperature on the planet’s surface decreases. The company described this scheme as “solar radiation management” or geoengineering. According to the magazine, this idea has been around for decades, but the company has taken a big, albeit “frightening step forward.” They want to spray innovative particles above the clouds, where they will form a kind of mirror, reducing the Sun’s thermal impact. Meanwhile, scientists have refused to disclose the composition of their type of reflective particles, emphasizing that they are completely safe for people and ecosystems. According to the company’s co-founder Yanai Yedvab, they do not plan to implement the developed technologies on their own, as this would require huge costs and resources. Earlier, astronomers reported that the plasma ejection from the second strongest flare of 2025, which occurred on the Sun on November 14, will pass by Earth.
