If you happen to look into the night sky in the near future and see flashing lights or what appears to be extraterrestrial activity, don’t be alarmed, it’s just a tiny satellite that was launched by Japanese scientists that will be writing Morse code messages in the sky.
Researchers from the Fukuoka Institute of Technology developed the four-inch satellite cube and it was released along with two other cubesats from the International Space Station, 242 miles above earth, on October 5. It will be the first of its kind to transmit an LED message across the sky.
