Once again, a sleepless night. Since the beginning of the #war, there have been 2,044 air raid alerts in my city, #Kyiv. In the latest overnight #strike, Russia launched 297 #drones and nearly 50 #missiles. Russia has systematically targeted #Ukraine’s #energy grid, leaving more than half a million people in Kyiv without #power. Other cities have been repeatedly battered…; while temperatures have fallen to as low as -22C (-7.6F) in the #coldest #winter for years. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/feb/22/russia-missiles-ukraine-hungary-block-eu-sanctions

I grew up in the world’s #coldest city without central heating. Here’s what the world can learn from us

On #winter mornings in #harbin where the air outside could freeze your eyelashes, I would wake up on a bed of warm earth.

Harbin, where I grew up, is in northeast China. Winter temperatures regularly dip to -30°C and in January even the warmest days rarely go above -10°C.

Uranus – the coldest and strangest ice

The planet is an ice giant. And a gas giant. It has no solid surface. It has an atmosphere first. Then comes a denser layer, a liquid structure of ammonia and water. The icy part is made of water and rock. And the core is made of ice and rock. It sounds incredible, but it rains diamonds on this planet. It is the coldest planet in the solar system.
