Upon reading about the discovery of Sedna and thinking about other objects that may lay beyond Pluto I thought of an interesting way of possibly viewing these darker objects.
Would it be possible to send a very large object into space beyond Jupiter that would emit a very bright flash, brighter than our sun? If we did this may we be able to capture the light that is reflected back from objects that would not be so detectable with our Sun's natural light reflection?
Essentially "shedding light" on the outter reaches of our Solar System?
It's also similar to taking a picture using a flash.
Just another random thought I thought I would throw out.
Kind Regards,
Memnoch
