OPN 201029 EDIT — STELLAR SUCCESS: UAE’s announcement of an advanced satellite on Wednesday is yet another milestone in its spectacular space journey. MBZ-SAT is the second satellite after 2018’s KhalifaSat to be built completely by Emiratis and the fourth Earth observation satellite so far – with DubaiSat -1 and DubaiSat -2 being launched in 2009 and 2013. But MBZ-SAT will be four times faster than them all. It will also provide images within two hours and arrange images which can be used commercially anywhere in the world. Great going, we wish the team working on the satellite all the very best. [COMMENT BY: Sharmila Dhal, UAE Editor] Image Credit: Dubai media office

WHEN FACT IS STRANGER THAN FICTION: There is a repugnant regressive wave in India that’s been exposed by violent acts. Every day there are stories of rape and murder, of spurred advances met with stabbing – like in the case of actress Malvi Malhotra – or shootings – such as in the case of Nikita Tomar. Bollywood is speaking up about the grossness of these acts and others must too. For while it may make for a great plot for a fictitious work, in real life, it’s a reminder of how we have devolved into little more than a mass of flesh, bone and base instinct. Where did the human go in humanity? [COMMENT BY: Karishma Nandkeolyar, Assistant Online Editor] Image Credit: Instagram
