Studies of the atmosphere first received technical support in 1912. Equipment to measure temperature and pressure was invented in Germany. But the question was how to raise it high into the air. In 1921, Russian engineers suggested using planes. The special equipment was put on planes that made regular flights. Thanks to this, scientists got a lot of new information about the structure of the atmosphere. Nowadays scientists use modern flying laboratories to study the structure of clouds at different levels. Unlike the first planes, these laboratories can work in any weather and are able to predict climate changes.

Many people enjoy watching the night sky, and one of the most amazing things to see is the Northern Lights. This natural phenomenon appears when particles from the Sun reach the Earth’s atmosphere. The Northern Lights can usually be seen in countries near the North Pole, including Russia, Norway and Canada. The first written descriptions of this phenomenon appeared more than 1,000 years ago. The lights can have different colours, but green is the most common one. Sometimes people can also see red and purple colours in the sky. The Northern Lights usually appear 80–500 kilometres above the Earth’s surface. The best time to watch them is in winter because the nights are longer and darker. Thousands of tourists travel to northern regions every year to enjoy this beautiful natural show. Scientists continue studying the Northern Lights because they can help us understand more about the Sun and our planet.

The Arctic Ocean is the smallest ocean of the world. It covers the northern polar region of the Earth. The Arctic region is a very cold place. The lowest recorded temperature there is minus 68 degrees. In spite of the cold, a lot of animals live on the Arctic ice. The polar bear is one of them. Now, due to global warming, the polar bear is in a serious trouble. The thing is that polar bears hunt seals and they need ice to do this. The bears wait for seals on the ice, hunt them in the water and go back to the shore. If the ice is too thin, it breaks under the bears’ heavy bodies and they may drown. The situation is getting worse and some researchers say the ocean may become ice-free as soon as 2050.

It’s hard to find a more popular Russian symbol than the traditional Russian doll, or Matryoshka. It is well-known all over the world. The first set of dolls appeared in Moscow in 1890. It consisted of eight dolls. All of them were children: seven girls, one boy, and a baby. In those times, Matryoshkas were not meant as toys for children as their price was very high. Mostly, adults bought them as presents or home decorations. There was a belief that if you put a note with a wish into Matryoshka, it would come true. At the beginning of the 20th century, Russia started to export their national dolls abroad.

Human activity creates waste, and space is no exception. Dead satellites, rocket stages, and other debris are littering Earth's orbit. This junk is getting dangerously close to space stations, and the risk of a serious accident is very real. A collision could completely destroy an entire station. In 1983, a tiny paint fleck from a satellite made a large hole in a spaceship's window, proving that even small objects are dangerous. Currently, about 3,000 tons of space rubbish orbit our planet, and there is an urgent need to clean it up. Scientists and engineers are already working on the problem. They are designing special spaceships that will collect space debris. Some of these vessels will even recycle the collected materials. These innovative projects aim to make space safer for future missions. Without such measures, orbital traffic will become too risky. That is why space cleanup is not just important but essential for humanity's future exploration.

The construction of the longest and deepest railroad tunnel in Europe has been completed. This remarkable tunnel runs through the Alps, connecting the northern and southern parts of the continent. Its total length is 57 kilometres, and it goes straight from one end to the other without any curves. The new route will allow passenger trains to travel much faster through the mountains, significantly reducing travel time. Modern technologies have been applied throughout the project to guarantee safety and security for all trains passing inside. The ambitious work began in 2009 and took 17 years to finish. Thousands of workers and engineers contributed to this colossal effort. The tunnel is considered one of the most impressive engineering achievements in Europe. It represents a true triumph of human skill and determination. This structure will improve transport, boost the economy, and bring European countries closer together for many decades ahead.
