Visit http://science.nasa.gov/science-news/... for the full story.

High overhead, out of the darkness, a bright light surges into view. For 5 to 10 seconds it outshines the brightest stars in the sky, mimicking a supernova, perhaps even casting faint shadows at your feet. The silence is broken by your own excited shouts. Could this happen to you? It could, if you happen to be outside when NanoSail-D flies by.

    Sooo.. if spaceships starts appearing all over the world.. it's just solar sails right..? I guess the old explanation of weather-balloons is outdated in these modern times.
