Large regions in Russia are facing a freezing winter, as temperatures in Siberia have dropped to as low as -62.7C (-80.9F). Meteorlogists note that this recording marks the coldest day in Russia in about 21 years, as large parts of the country are currently facing lower-than-normal temperatures.

A dramatic moment in the cosmos sparked alarm as two huge chunks of Russian space equipment came just feet away from colliding with one another, which could have created thousands of pieces of hazardous debris. An old Soviet rocket and a dead spy satellite narrowly avoided a harmful collision in an area called low-Earth orbit (LEO), according to satellite monitoring and collision detection firm LeoLabs, which spotted the event.
