Rocket Lab on Wednesday (Jan. 24) revealed to the world that "The Humanity Star" is circling Earth and is expected to become the brightest object in the night sky. Covered in 65 highly-reflective panels, the satellite is rapidly spinning, reflecting the sun's light back onto the planet, much in the same way that a disco ball casts light onto a dance floor.[/i]</blockquote> <center><a href="http://www.collectspace.com/news/news-012418a-rocket-lab-humanity-star-satellite.html" target="AirLock"><img src="http://www.collectspace.com/images/news-012418a-lg.jpg" width="400" height="265" border="0"></a></center>
