I am watching CNN Live as I type this. They are doing some story about something in the night sky, I am just barley paying attention. Anyway this news anchor takes a green laser and starts pointing it up into the sky at stars. He is using it as a pointer trying to point out stars. They are doing a story later on this and I take it he will be using this laser pointing it up into the night sky.
My question should anyone point any laser into the sky? With what we know about lasers and how they work is this a good idea? Or would you do this?
