Largest Meteorite Impact Craters on Earth Meteorite impact craters are some of the most fascinating geological features on Earth. These massive structures are the result of asteroids or comets colliding with our planet at high speeds. The largest impact craters can be found in various locations around the world, such as the Vredefort Crater in South Africa, Chicxulub Crater in Mexico, and Sudbury Basin in Canada. These impact craters are not only visually impressive but also provide valuable insights into the Earth's history and the impact of celestial objects on our planet. Studying these craters helps scientists understand past extinction events, geological processes, and even the potential risks posed by future asteroid impacts.

Hot Gas Geyser from New Star HH 110 Herbig-Haro object 110, also known as HH 110, is unique due to its solitary appearance, unlike most other objects of its kind that usually come in pairs. This hot gas geyser is an intriguing astronomical phenomenon.

Robot Joyride to be Tested on the ISS The freely flying robot, provided by Icarus, a startup from New York, will be tested on the International Space Station. Voyager will be responsible for preparing the robot for the flight and integrating the payload. The project's goal is to evaluate autonomous operation technologies of these systems in close proximity to the crew. The robot's launch is planned for 2027.

First launch of Chinese rocket "Lizhiang-2" successful The "Lizhiang-2" is a medium-class liquid rocket designed to transport up to 12 tons into low Earth orbit or approximately 7.8-8 tons into a sun-synchronous orbit. Yesterday, the rocket successfully carried out its maiden flight, deploying three payloads, notably a prototype of a commercial cargo spacecraft intended for upcoming missions to the "Tiangong" space station.

The Webb Telescope Unveils the Longstanding Mystery of Saturn's "Odd" Rotation For over 20 years, scientists couldn't explain why the Cassini spacecraft showed Saturn's speed changing. It turns out, the illusion of speed variation is created by the planet's polar auroras.

Blue Haze Around Pluto Captured by New Horizons Spacecraft The New Horizons spacecraft recently captured a blue haze surrounding Pluto. Besides its scientific equipment, the spacecraft holds significant items such as a capsule with astronomer Clyde Tombaugh's ashes, a compact disc bearing the names of participants in NASA's "Send Your Name to Pluto" initiative, two coins, two U.S. flags, and a 1990 U.S. postage stamp titled "Pluto: Not Yet Explored."

Cosmonauts Complete Virtual Spacewalk The training session on the "Orlan-MK" stand included simulations of spacesuit donning, maneuvering between ISS modules, and docking. Pyotr Dubrov and Anna Kikina, members of the ISS-75 main crew, participated in the virtual spacewalk.

Yuri Gagarin and Boris Petrov Awarded Honorary Citizenship of Smolensk Region The Smolensk Regional Duma deputies have posthumously granted the title of Honorary Citizens of the Smolensk Region to Yuri Gagarin and Boris Petrov. This decision was announced by the region's governor, Vasiliy Anokhin. This recognition is a tribute to the incredible contributions made by Gagarin, the first human to journey into outer space, and Petrov, a renowned artist and war veteran, to the region and the world.

Martian Dune Resembles Giant Tsunami A massive dune on Mars, when viewed from the leeward side, bears a striking resemblance to a giant tsunami. This optical illusion is a testament to the unique and diverse geological features found on the surface of the red planet.

Torrential Rain and Squally Wind: A Glimpse of Dagestan from Space A powerful cyclone originating from the Caspian Sea resulted in a significant flood in the Republic. Footage from Roscosmos satellites, namely "Electro-L" and "Arktika-M," showcases the extent of the natural disaster.
