Everybody knows the classic experiment of burning a piece of paper using a magnifying glass. Is it possible to do the same using the light of a star and a huge lens? What stuff did we need for that? This article will show different perspectives about that, considering the limitations and practical possibilities for such a procedure. It is just a conceptual exploration, not an engineering project. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
