Child Injured by Falling Drones in Orlando

Astronomers have identified two new Earth-sized planets orbiting the star HD 101581, located 42 light-years away, although these planets are deemed unlikely to support life due to their proximity to their star. The discovery was facilitated by NASA's TESS space telescope, which has confirmed around 600 planets since its launch. In Dubai, a spectacular drone light show is captivating audiences, featuring intricate performances that celebrate the city's shopping festival, with shows running through late December and into January. However, a recent drone incident in Orlando raises safety concerns, as a drone from a Christmas light show injured a young boy, prompting investigations by the FAA. Meanwhile, speculation about the rise in reported drone sightings may relate to the visibility of bright planets like Venus and Jupiter in the night sky, leading some to confuse them with drones. This mix of discoveries and incidents highlights the ongoing intersection of technology, astronomy, and public safety.
