Cosmic Show on Aug 22–23, 2025: Meteors, Planet Parade, Auroras & More

Perseid meteors continue through August 23, 2025, with the peak on Aug 12–13 under a Moon about 84% full, and by Aug 23 the Moon is new, giving dark skies for meteor watching; the meteors originate from Comet Swift–Tuttle. The minor Kappa Cygnids shower peaks around Aug 16–18, producing about 3 meteors per hour and occasionally slow, dramatic fireballs. Venus and Jupiter form a bright dawn pair in the east around Aug 22, separated by only a few degrees, with Venus at magnitude about −4 and Jupiter around −2. Mercury reached greatest western elongation on Aug 19, 2025, shining near

Drone Law in Doha: What You Must Know Before You Fly

Drone Law in Doha: What You Must Know Before You Fly

In Qatar, drone operations require prior authorization from the Qatar Civil Aviation Authority (QCAA); unapproved flights are illegal. Only Qatari citizens and permanent residents may operate drones; foreign visitors are not permitted to fly. Every drone flight requires a QCAA permit, and owning a drone does not grant the right to fly. Recreational drone use is tightly restricted to Qatari nationals or residents who obtain a QCAA permit for each flight, typically within designated clubs such as the RC Sport Center, and must stay below 400 feet, in daylight, and within line of sight. Commercial drone use is allowed only
