Russia's space agency on Monday said the break with the West following Russia's offensive in Ukraine had cost it nearly 180 billion rubles ($2.1 billion).
As part of sanctions against Moscow following the start of Russia's campaign, Western countries broke off partnerships with Roscosmos in the space sector.

New research suggests that Venus, often considered Earth's hostile twin, may share a geological history with our planet.
Scientists have identified that Venus' extensive plateaus, called tesserae, might have formed through processes similar to those that created Earth's earliest continents billions of years ago.

A significant study has revealed that red dwarf stars can produce stellar flares with far-ultraviolet (far-UV) radiation levels much higher than previously thought. This discovery indicates that the intense UV radiation from these flares could considerably affect the habitability of planets orbiting red dwarf stars.
