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. "The termination of contracts by unfriendly countries cost Roscosmos 180 billion

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. This research, led by current and former astronomers from the University of Hawa

When a robotic rover lands on another world, scientists have a limited amount of time to collect data from the troves of explorable material, because of short mission durations and the length of time to complete complex experiments. That's why researchers at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, are investigating the use of machine learning to assist in the rapid analy
