Sorry, Rom but I can't get to the article without paying. However I can see the artist's impression and it's hideous. There's too much of this 'point a light up and it's artistic' first class fertilizer about the place. 'Shaft of Light' 'Towers of Radiance' whatever, they're all ugly. There's a night club in town, 5km away, who shine a set of 4 spotlights upwards, waving them about, to advertise their presence. You can see them on the clouds most nights and on the clear nights they light up the dust. Sometimes I wish I was a pelican.
