Cosmic Spectacle: What to Watch in the Sky on August 25–26, 2025

Cosmic Spectacle: What to Watch in the Sky on August 25–26, 2025

A rare Black Moon occurred on August 23, 2025, as Summer 2025 had four new moons (June 25, July 23, Aug 23, Sept 21), yielding ultra-dark skies for Aug 24–26. Perseid meteors, peaking Aug 12–13 at up to ~100 per hour under ideal dark skies, were heavily washed out by an 84%-full Moon, leaving observed rates around 15 per hour in many areas. Kappa Cygnids, a minor shower peaking around Aug 16 at ~3 meteors per hour, can still produce slow, bright fireballs, though by late August rates are under 1 per hour.

Space Race Heats Up: ISS Gets a Boost, Starship Scrubs & New Cosmic Ambitions (Aug 24–25, 2025)

SpaceX’s 33rd Cargo Dragon mission (CRS-33) launched from Cape Canaveral at 2:45 a.m. EDT on Aug. 24, 2025, carrying more than 5,000 pounds of supplies and a trunk-mounted boost module to raise the ISS orbit. The Dragon’s trunk contains an independent propulsion system with two Draco engines to perform orbit-raising burns starting in September 2025 and reduce reliance on Russia’s Progress freighters. Starting in September 2025, Dragon will perform a series of ISS orbit-raising burns to sustain altitude, providing about 1.5× the reboost capability of a Russian Progress.

Vancouver Drone Laws 2024–2025: New Rules, No‑Fly Zones, and How to Avoid Hefty Fines

Drones weighing 250 g to 25 kg must be registered and operated by a licensed pilot under Transport Canada rules, while micro drones under 250 g are exempt from registration and licensing. The City of Vancouver Park Board bylaws prohibit taking off or landing a drone in city parks, beaches, and green spaces without permission, and no public parks are currently designated for drone use (examples include Stanley Park, Kitsilano Beach, and Queen Elizabeth Park). In 2025, the Metro Vancouver Regional District updated bylaws to forbid drone take-off or landing in regional parks without a park permit, covering sites like

Major Quantum R&D Breakthroughs Quantum Communication & Networks Government & Military Quantum Initiatives Industry & Investment Moves Expert Perspectives & Outlook Despite rapid advances, leaders in the field urge a balance of excitement with realism. Some celebrated breakthroughs remain limited in practice – for instance, a recent quantum chemistry experiment was praised as “an encouraging early step” toward quantum-assisted drug discovery, but experts noted it has not yet outperformed classical methods ts2.tech. This kind of cautious optimism is common: quantum capabilities are expanding steadily, yet classical supercomputers still set formidable benchmarks in most tasks today. At the same time, industry

Global Science Breakthroughs You Missed This Weekend (August 23–24, 2025)

Global Science Breakthroughs You Missed This Weekend (August 23–24, 2025)

NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope identified over 300 unusually bright objects in infrared images that may be among the universe’s earliest galaxies. One of these objects has been spectroscopically confirmed as an early galaxy. Researchers used a dropout technique to identify high-redshift galaxy candidates from the dawn of the universe. If confirmed, these objects could force a rewrite of galaxy formation models by showing massive, bright galaxies formed earlier than current theory predicts. NASA’s Parker Solar Probe flew through the Sun’s outer atmosphere, directly observing magnetic reconnection that snaps and reconnects magnetic field lines, solving a 70-year mystery. The mission
