Don’t Miss Tonight’s Cosmic Spectacle: Meteors, Planet Parade & Aurora Alerts (Aug 26–27, 2025)

Don’t Miss Tonight’s Cosmic Spectacle: Meteors, Planet Parade & Aurora Alerts (Aug 26–27, 2025)

The Perseid meteor shower ran July 17–August 23, 2025, but its peak was washed out by the nearly full Sturgeon Moon, which NASA estimated reduced meteors by about 75%. Under dark skies, the Perseids would normally yield 40–50 meteors per hour, but this year observers faced about 10–20 per hour or fewer due to moonlight. The Aurigids begin August 28 and peak September 1, 2025, with a maximum of roughly 10 meteors per hour at the peak. On August 27, the Moon will occult Spica (Alpha Virginis) around 15:00 UTC for observers in parts of South America and Antarctica. Saturn

Spain’s Internet Boom: Blazing Fiber, 5G Coverage, and Starlink’s Arrival in 2025

Spain’s Internet Boom: Blazing Fiber, 5G Coverage, and Starlink’s Arrival in 2025

By mid-2024, Spain’s fiber broadband coverage reached 95.2% of the population, well above the EU average. Telefónica’s Movistar completed the copper switch-off in May 2025, with the last copper exchanges closed and fiber replacing copper nationwide. Movistar’s fixed fiber network reaches about 31 million premises. Fiber accounts for about 89.3% of fixed broadband subscriptions (16.6 million lines). By mid-2024, around 92% of Spain’s population was covered by 5G, with Movistar alone deploying over 10,900 5G sites by late 2023. An additional €1 billion was invested in 2023–24 to bring 5G to 2 million residents in towns under 10,000 people. The

Flying a Drone in Dubai Marina? 7 Must-Know Laws and Regulations (2025 Update)

Flying a Drone in Dubai Marina? 7 Must-Know Laws and Regulations (2025 Update)

Dubai Marina falls under UAE General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA) and Dubai Civil Aviation Authority (DCAA) rules, with no Marina-only drone laws. Recreational drones must be registered with the GCAA, weigh 5 kg (11 lbs) or less, and may only fly in approved green zones shown on the UAE Drone Map app. Drones must not be flown within 5 kilometers of airports, airfields, or heliports, and Dubai Marina’s proximity to Skydive Dubai makes the area effectively restricted without permission. Maximum altitude is 120 meters (400 feet) above ground level, and drones must be flown in visual line of sight during

Mauritania’s Internet Revolution: What You Need to Know About Satellite, Speed, and Access in 2025

As of early 2025, about 1.96 million Mauritanians were internet users, roughly 37% of the population. Under the National Digital Transformation Agenda 2022–2025, Mauritania planned to add 4,000 km of fiber backbone by 2025, and by mid-2024 had deployed about 5,500 km with another 2,300 km planned. ACE, landing in Nouakchott since 2012, was the country’s sole international link until 2025, when Mauritania contracted with EllaLink in July 2025 to extend a transatlantic cable with a 500 km Nouadhibou branch, with service due by early 2027.

AI Stock Whiplash: Nvidia’s $4 Trillion Test, Intel’s Shocking Deal & a Global Tech Rollercoaster

Nasdaq Composite slid nearly 0.7% mid-week while the S&P 500 tech sector fell about 2.5% as investors rotated out of AI-fueled gains. Nvidia became the first-ever $4 trillion U.S. company last month, underscoring its central role in the AI rally. Analysts forecast Nvidia’s fiscal Q2 EPS rising 48% on revenue of $45.9 billion. Options markets were bracing for roughly a 6% post-earnings swing in Nvidia’s stock due to its outsized index impact. Nvidia’s revenue-sharing deal with Washington directs 15% of its China sales to the U.S. Treasury as part of export controls. The U.S. government announced a deal to buy
