Weekend Skywatch Alert: Blood Moon Eclipse, Auroras & Shooting Stars Collide (Sept 6–7, 2025)

If you live in mid to high latitudes, you could be in for a treat this weekend: the Northern Lights might come out to play. Space weather forecasters at NOAA’s Space Weather Prediction Center have issued a G1 geomagnetic storm watch for September 6–7 due to a high-speed solar wind stream buffeting Earth’s magnetic field earthsky.org. This solar wind surge comes from a “positive polarity” coronal hole on the Sun – essentially an open magnetic gap in the Sun’s atmosphere unleashing fast-moving particles toward Earth dailygalaxy.com. NOAA has classified the event as a G1 storm with an expected Kp index of 5, meaning auroras could dip much farther south than usual dailygalaxy.com.

AI at Warp Speed: Breakthroughs, Battles and Big Bets (Sept 5–6, 2025)

Book Authors vs Tech Giants: In a new front of the AI copyright wars, Apple was hit with a proposed class-action lawsuit by two novelists on Sept 5, accusing the company of “illegally” ingesting their books to train AI reuters.com. “Apple has not attempted to pay these authors for their contributions to this potentially lucrative venture,” the complaint asserts reuters.com. The suit follows a wave of litigation from writers, news outlets and artists who allege Big Tech is pilfering content to feed AI models. Notably, Anthropic – maker of the Claude chatbot – agreed the same day to pay $1.5 billion to settle a class-action by authors claiming their novels were used without permission reuters.com. The deal, which Anthropic reached without admitting wrongdoing, is being hailed as a milestone. “This settlement sends a powerful message… that taking copyrighted works from pirate websites is wrong,” said lawyers for the authors, calling it the largest copyright recovery ever reuters.com. Under the agreement, Anthropic will destroy all downloaded books and could still face claims if its AI outputs infringe authors’ rights reuters.com.

Casablanca Drone Laws 2025: The Shocking Truth About Flying Drones in Morocco

Casablanca Drone Laws 2025: The Shocking Truth About Flying Drones in Morocco

Morocco’s drone laws are anchored in a strict legal framework that effectively prohibits civilian drone operations. In February 2015, a joint decree by the Ministry of Interior and Ministry of Foreign Trade imposed a ban on importing drones and other remotely-controlled flying devices without prior government approval en.bladi.net moroccoworldnews.com. This decree was a response to growing security concerns – regulators deemed unregulated drones a potential threat for terrorism, espionage, and privacy invasion. The law subjects both the import and use of drones to a prior authorization process to safeguard sensitive sites and national security moroccoworldnews.com.

Japan’s Space and Satellite Industry: A Comprehensive 2025 Market Report

Japan’s journey in space began in the 1950s and has grown from university research rockets to a major national endeavor. In 1955, Professor Hideo Itokawa’s team launched the first pencil rocket as a rudimentary experiment en.wikipedia.org. By the 1960s, Japan developed larger sounding rockets leading up to its first satellite launch. In February 1970, Japan successfully launched the Ohsumi satellite on a Lambda-4S rocket, making Japan the world’s fourth spacefaring nation to launch an indigenous satellite into orbit u-tokyo.ac.jp. Throughout the 1970s and 1980s, Japan built out its launch sites at Tanegashima and Uchinoura, and developed new rockets often with technology licensed or adapted from the U.S. nasaspaceflight.com.

Papua New Guinea’s Internet Access Crisis: Sky-High Costs, Bold Plans, and a Digital Divide

Papua New Guinea’s Internet Access Crisis: Sky-High Costs, Bold Plans, and a Digital Divide

Papua New Guinea faces an uphill battle in bringing internet access to its population, which is dispersed across difficult terrain and hundreds of islands. General internet penetration remains very low – only about 24.1% of the population were internet users at the start of 2025 datareportal.com datareportal.com. In other words, roughly three out of every four Papua New Guineans have never been online. This rate is starkly below the global average and even lags behind many neighboring Pacific Island countries. The total number of internet users was estimated at 2.57 million out of 10.7 million people in 2025 datareportal.com. Growth has been sluggish; the user base increased by only ~45,000 from 2024 to 2025, barely keeping pace with population growth datareportal.com. Consequently, the internet adoption percentage has essentially flatlined, indicating PNG has hit a plateau under current conditions datareportal.com.

Mars’ Core Revealed, “Pristine” Galaxy Spotted, Alzheimer’s Test Hope, and a Quantum Leap – Science News Roundup (Sept 4–5, 2025)

Seismic readings from NASA’s InSight Mars lander have revealed that Mars possesses a solid inner core, much like Earth’s. A Chinese-led team analyzed faint marsquake waves and found Mars’ inner core extends ~613 km from the center, likely made of iron and nickel, surrounded by a molten outer core phys.org. Previously, scientists suspected Mars’ core was fully liquid; this new finding confirms a small solid center. “Our results suggest that Mars has a solid inner core making up about one-fifth of the planet’s radius – roughly the same proportion as Earth’s inner core,” said lead author Daoyuan Sun of the University of Science and Technology of China phys.org. The solid Martian core was inferred from subtle differences in how seismic waves traveled through the planet. The InSight lander, before going silent in 2022, detected over 1,300 marsquakes; Sun’s team focused on 23 quakes that provided especially clear core-transiting signals phys.org phys.org. The data show Mars’ inner core is solid metal with a liquid outer core extending out to ~1,800 km phys.org – very similar in core structure proportions to Earth phys.org.

From Beaches to Broadband: Inside Saint Vincent & the Grenadines’ Internet Boom

Saint Vincent and the Grenadines has seen a dramatic leap in fixed broadband availability and speeds in recent years. The country’s two main Internet Service Providers – Flow and Digicel – now deliver broadband via hybrid fiber-coaxial cable networks and fiber-to-the-home, respectively. These fixed networks cover the mainland and, increasingly, the smaller Grenadine islands thanks to the new undersea fiber backbone. Today, residents in the capital Kingstown or on outer islands like Bequia can all access high-speed home internet service. Typical entry-level packages offer on the order of 50–100 Mbps download speeds and higher-tier plans range up to a few hundred Mbps. Prices have become relatively reasonable by regional standards – for example, Digicel’s “Fibre 250” home plan costs about EC$129 per month ts2.tech, and Flow’s 100 Mbps cable plan is roughly EC$125. Both providers include unlimited data usage in home broadband plans, eliminating the caps that once plagued users of older DSL packages.
