Luxembourg’s Drone Law Overhaul 2025: What Recreational & Commercial Pilots Must Know

Luxembourg’s Drone Law Overhaul 2025: What Recreational & Commercial Pilots Must Know

Luxembourg applies the unified EU drone regulations, meaning rules are based on risk categories rather than the pilot’s status as recreational or commercial. In practice there is no legal distinction between flying for fun or for business – all pilots must follow the same rules under the EU’s Open, Specific, or Certified categories drone-traveller.com. Most everyday drone operations fall under the Open category, which has three subcategories defined by drone weight and proximity to people. Higher-risk or specialized operations require advance permission in the Specific category, and only the most complex uses would be Certified.

Don’t Miss the Cosmic Show: Perseid Meteors, Planetary Duet & Auroras (Aug 13–14, 2025)

Don’t Miss the Cosmic Show: Perseid Meteors, Planetary Duet & Auroras (Aug 13–14, 2025)

The Perseid meteor shower – one of the year’s most beloved sky shows – is reaching peak activity around August 12–13. However, a waning gibbous Moon will flood the night sky with light, dramatically reducing the number of visible meteors amsmeteors.org amsmeteors.org. Under dark, moonless skies, observers might normally catch 50–75 Perseids per hour at the peak. This year, “you’re probably going to see 10 to 20 per hour or fewer, and that’s because we have a bright Moon in the sky washing out the fainter meteors,” explains Bill Cooke, lead of NASA’s Meteoroid Environment Office nasa.gov. In other words, only the brightest Perseid fireballs will shine through the lunar glow travelandleisure.com.
