  • 00:02

    Hey, Vsauce. Michael here. If we turned

  • 00:05

    the Moon into a giant disco ball,

  • 00:09

    day and night would not

  • 00:12

    be a disco party. Instead of diffusely reflecting sunlight onto

  • 00:17

    all of us, a mirror-tiled moon would reflect

  • 00:20

    specularly. You would be lucky to momentarily

  • 00:24

    catch a single reflected beam of sunlight.

  • 00:28

    Now, with the help visuals by Nick from Yeti Dynamics, who you should subscribe to

  • 00:33

    immediately, let's see what would occur if a disco ball moon actually happened.

  • 00:38

    Here's the Earth with an imaginary screen behind it, so we can track the

  • 00:42

    path of reflections

  • 00:44

    from a disco ball Moon. It's 3,012 mirror tiles are ten kilometres thick

  • 00:49

    and between 100 and 150 kilometres

  • 00:52

    across. And, as you can see, the beams of sunlight they

  • 00:56

    reflect would only intersect with Earth briefly

  • 01:00

    and rarely - a few every month or so would race past at more than 20,000 kilometers a second.

  • 01:06

    From the surface of Earth, they'd just be tiny flashes in the sky

  • 01:10

    0.1 percent as bright as the regular Sun

  • 01:14

    and would last a fraction of a second. The Earth, Sun and Moon just

  • 01:18

    aren't an ideal locations for disco ball effects.

  • 01:21

    But, if our disco ball moon was closer

  • 01:26

    and orbited earth not 384,000 kilometers away but

  • 01:30

    less than 450, as far as the International Space Station does,

  • 01:34

    it would be torn apart by gravitational

  • 01:38

    title forces. Shoot. Also, the Moon doesn't really

  • 01:42

    rotate from our perspective like a fun disco ball.

  • 01:45

    It liberates, but it's starting to look like instead of an awesome lunar party decoration,

  • 01:50

    a disco ball moon would just be a lunar party pooper.

  • 01:54

    So, for the sake of investigation, let's allow this disco ball Moon to not be torn apart

  • 01:59

    and allow it to spin in the sky. Now we're talking.

  • 02:03

    Occasionally we would get glittery reflections of a dimmer image

  • 02:07

    of the Sun. From the surface of Earth,

  • 02:10

    this is what we would see.

  • 02:52

    You know, being able to see

  • 02:54

    Earth reflected is almost cooler. It's like being

  • 02:57

    a bacterium on a giant's face who's looking into a mirror.

  • 03:01

    You can see the giant, but not yourself.

  • 03:04

    It kinda makes you feel small.

  • 03:07

    But it would be a great way to take planetary selfies.

  • 03:11

    So, let's watch a mirror the width of the Moon orbit as close as the ISS does.

  • 03:16

    From the surface of Earth, it would look like this.

  • 03:22

    The strobe lights around the edge, by the way, are ten kilometres across.

  • 04:23

    Pretty cool.

  • 04:24

    Now finally, let's take a look at the Moon as a rotating disco ball from low orbit.

  • 05:26

    The Moon is not a disco ball

  • 05:28

    and likely never will be. It's just

  • 05:31

    a diffuse source of illumination. But it's

  • 05:35

    illuminating in a different way to imagine what would occur

  • 05:39

    if that actually happened.

  • 05:42

    Woah.

  • 05:44

    And as always,

  • 05:45

    thanks for watching.
