Lithium balls of light. Sounds great.
Fireworks: Japan's Weather Experiment to Shame the Moon - Gizmodo: "In its never-ending quest to out-Sci-Fi the world, Japan is treating its citizens to what they're calling a 'space fireworks show' - resulting from an experiment to study the atmosphere. On Sunday night at 7:26 PM (in Japan) an S-520 rocket will be launched into the sky and release lithium vapor into the ionosphere, creating three huge red balls of light - both as big and bright as the moon -- to be seen in the sky for one and a half minutes."
