A Planet Larger Than Its Star In 2020, in the constellation of Draco, approximately 80 light-years away from Earth, a gas giant named WD 1856 b was discovered. It is similar in size to Jupiter but remarkably 7 times larger than its star. This is because the gas giant orbits around a white dwarf — the final stage in the evolution of a Sun-like star that has already shed most of its mass. The orbit of WD 1856 b is extremely compact — the gas giant is located 50 times closer to its star than Earth. Due to this close distance, the exoplanet completes an orbit around its star in just 34 hours.

First Test Launch of the Next-Generation "Soyuz-5" Carrier Rocket On April 30 at 9:00 p.m. Moscow time, the inaugural test launch of the new Russian medium-class carrier rocket "Soyuz-5" occurred from Site 45 at the Baikonur Cosmodrome. The "Soyuz-5" features the world's most potent liquid rocket engine, representing a significant milestone in rocket technology advancement. This event marks the commencement of flight and design trials for the next-generation rocket. During the launch, the first and second stages of the "Soyuz-5" operated as expected, successfully deploying a mockup on a predetermined suborbital path. The stages then safely landed in a designated area in the Pacific Ocean, ensuring no interference with maritime or aviation routes. The rocket's key advantages include reduced cost per unit weight for payload delivery, a doubled payload capacity of up to 17 tons with precise deployment, and the use of environmentally friendly fuel components.

Federation Council Approves Law Allowing Roscosmos to Provide Cosmonauts with Official Housing The Federation Council has passed a law granting Roscosmos the authority to manage official housing for cosmonauts. This new legislation enables the state corporation to own residential properties in the state housing stock, determine which properties are included in the specialized housing stock, and provide housing to cosmonauts. Previously, these responsibilities were solely held by the Russian Federation authorities.
