| Jul 17, 2021 at 19:25 | comment | added | BMF | @Alexander maybe if you put the new moon on a canted orbit around Earth then place a solar shade on a halo orbit at L1, could keep it cool enough. You could also give the orbit a precession of 1 year such that the shadow of the new moon (and the shadow of the shade) never fall on Earth. | |
