Well by shiny, the glass is extremely bright at sunset from here in Morristown, NJ: 40 miles away. I posted a photo a little while back of it at sunset...however I can only see it from a high point here, such as the 9/11 memorial ironically. The spire will light a beacon that will be project a beam visible nearly 3,000 feet up and seen from 70 miles+..it will also flash the letter "N" for New York in morse code
