Blue Moon: two full moons in one month (2015). Celebrity Options. Celebrity Diets The phenomenon of two moons in the sky
In 2016, the fantasy film Warcraft was released, based on the popular game series (with the original title Warcraft). Many liked the picture, in connection with which the question arose: when will the sequel - the movie Warcraft 2.


Actually the big question is will there ever be a part 2 of the Warcraft movie (Warcraft 2).

And the point here is not at all the lack of spectator interest in history and not the lack of source material. Many fans are looking forward to the release of the sequel to the film. One young man even posted a tweet claiming to have watched the sci-fi movie 4 times in IMAX and is now biting his nails in anticipation of the sequel. To which I even received a response from Duncan Jones, the director of the first Warcraft, who replied that he himself was looking forward to when this would happen, but it all depended on the decision of the production media company Legendary Entertainment.

Also unlikely to interfere with the release of Warcraft 2 and big number negative reviews that collected the first film. There are many examples when, after serious criticism of the first parts, the studio released sequels that had some success.

The main thing that determines whether Warcraft 2 will be released or not is a matter of money. After all, it's just business. As you know, the first film failed at the US box office, but "shot" in some other countries. For example, China grossed $156 million for a box office total of over $430 million. That is, the financial success of the Warcraft 2 film is unlikely to be ensured in the United States, however, in foreign markets, for example, in Russia and China, something will be able to be collected. And producers, before they start filming, must decide for themselves whether they are ready to take the risk of a film failing at the box office or not. We expect that sooner or later a positive decision will be made on the production of the second part of the Warcraft movie.

When will the Warcraft 2 movie be released in Russia:

Despite the fact that there is no decision yet on the start of filming and the timing of the release of the Warcraft 2 movie, the approximate release date can be named. Preliminary - this is May 2020. In Russia, it could very well be Thursday 14 May 2020.

Although, of course, not all parental days fall on Saturday. So, the first parental day after Easter in 2019, which is called Radonitsa, is held on Tuesday a week after Easter Sunday.


Orthodox believers celebrated Easter in 2019 on April 28, respectively. Radonitsa falls on May 7, 2019.

That is, what date will Radonitsa be (parent's day after Easter 2019):
* on Tuesday 7 May 2019

In some Russian regions, May 7, 2019 has been declared a public holiday. Taking into account the May holidays, in early May 2019, residents of these regions will have 10 days off.

Eid al-Fitr in 2019 - a day off or a working day:

In some regions of the country, the first day of Eid al-Fitr (in 2019 - June 4) is an official non-working day, an additional day off.

The following regions of the Russian Federation have a rest in honor of the holiday:
* Republic of Adygea.
* Republic of Bashkortostan (Bashkiria).
* The Republic of Dagestan.
* Kabardino-Balkaria Republic (Kabardino-Balkaria).
* Karachay-Cherkess Republic (Karachay-Cherkessia).
* Republic of Crimea.
* Republic of Tatarstan.
* Chechen Republic.

In the regions listed, Tuesday June 4, 2019 is a public holiday, and Monday the day before (June 3, 2019) is a short working day.

What is the date of the Scarlet Sails 2019 festival in St. Petersburg:

The festive festival Scarlet Sails is held annually in St. Petersburg and is traditionally considered a holiday for all graduates of St. Petersburg schools.

Residents of the northern capital are looking forward to Scarlet Sails 2019 because the festival has gained immense popularity among them. Why are St. Petersburg residents, a large number of guests from all over Russia and countries of near and far abroad planning to make a summer trip to St. Petersburg in order to see an exciting water show, colorful fireworks and numerous musical concerts.

In the waters of the Neva, as part of the festival, a grandiose water performance is held, which includes: racing on motor boats and kayaks, sea pirate battles, and also, in apotheosis, the passage of a sailboat with scarlet sails.

The date of the Scarlet Sails festival is timed to coincide with the longest white night. Events are held on the Saturday closest to it, during the period from June 18 to June 25, with a few exceptions. The most interesting part of the events takes place on the night from Saturday to Sunday.

The traditional date for Scarlet Sails 2019 falls on Saturday 22 June 2019. However, June 22 in Russia is the Day of Memory and Sorrow, the date of the beginning of the Great Patriotic War. Therefore, it was obvious that postponement of the holiday to Sunday 23 June 2019. The option of moving the festival to Friday June 21, 2019 did not work for the reason that since the events lasted 2 days, they would have ended at dawn on June 22, just at the time of the attack Nazi Germany to the USSR in 1941.

That is, the date of the festival Scarlet Sails 2019:
* on the night of Sunday 23 June 2019 to Monday 24 June 2019

The venue for the Scarlet Sails 2019 celebrations will traditionally be Palace Square in St. Petersburg and the spit of Vasilyevsky Island.

On which channel to watch the live broadcast of the Scarlet Sails Festival 2019:

According to the established tradition, the most interesting moments of the festive evening will be shown live Channel Five. The live broadcast is scheduled to start on 22:00 .

What time will the fireworks be?

The festive salute, also known as fireworks or a pyrotechnic show, will begin at the end of the concert program, after 00:30.

And in a week St. Petersburg will host the summer national holiday of the Turkic peoples -

“Recently, the Internet is replete with reports that on August 27, Mars will pass at a short distance from the Earth and will be visible as a full moon to the naked eye. Astronomers from the Moscow Planetarium warn that you should not waste your time waiting for a phenomenon that, by definition, can never happen.

Astronomers of the Moscow Planetarium warn that Mars will not be visible in the sky as a full moon either on August 27 or on other days, the planetarium's press service said.

As noted by the astronomer, an employee of the Moscow Planetarium Lyudmila Koshman, whose words are given in the material, the distance from Earth to Mars, even during periods of closest approach, is 50-60 million kilometers.

“Although the radius of the red planet is twice the radius of the moon, Mars is almost a hundred plus times farther from the Earth than the satellite of our planet! The significant remoteness of Mars from the Earth naturally affects its visibility: we see only a red shining dot in the sky even at the moments of the closest approach of Mars to the Earth. This year, in the period from August 24 to 30, Mars is visible only in the morning, and its brightness is plus 1.6m, which is approximately similar to the brightness of the Big Dipper stars. For comparison, the brightness of the moon on a full moon is 12.74m,” said Koshman.

According to the head of the astronomical complex of the Moscow Planetarium, Yaroslav Turilov, whose words are quoted in the message, the best period for observing Mars will be May 2016, when the next opposition of this planet will occur.

“The brightness of the planet will reach a magnitude of −2m and it will be possible to observe it immediately after sunset. Of course, if we want to see the details of the relief of Mars and the polar caps, we need to use a telescope. With the naked eye, we will still see a reddish dot in the sky,” Turilov said.

According to the press service, the last great confrontation between Earth and Mars was observed August 27, 2003.

What is the Martian hoax:

The Martian hoax is a hoax that happened in 2003. In an email that users sent to each other, it was claimed that on August 27, 2003, Mars would look larger than the full moon, subject to 75x magnification. It is not clear why, but Internet users happily ignored the clarification regarding the increase in the red planet by 75 times and quoted the message without this important clarification.

In 2003, Mars really had the smallest distance from the Earth in the last 59,000 years. After all, before that, Mars approached the Earth at a minimum distance on September 24, 57617 BC, more than 59 thousand years ago! Then the distance between the planets was 55.718 million kilometers, and in 2003 a little more - 55.758 million kilometers.

At the same time, the Martian hoax indicated a distance of about a thousand times less than the real one. After all, a distance of 34,000 miles is less than from the Earth to the Moon.

In reality, on August 27, 2003, people could see the full moon in the sky and a bright dot nearby, because Mars was the brightest "star" in the sky that night.

Since then, this Martian hoax has popped up almost every year, and August 27, 2015 is no exception.

I would like to note that many people are looking forward to a similar event that happens almost every year - the Supermoon. This is the full moon when the moon is closest to the earth. At the same time, the lunar ball visually seems much larger than usual. In 2015, this event will occur a little more than a month after the Martian hoax, so we are waiting Supermoon 2015.

An interesting celestial phenomenon awaits all of us this August. The orbit of Mars will come so close to the orbit of the Earth that visually the red planet can be compared in size to the Moon. The inhabitants of the Earth will see such a miracle on the 27th. In clear weather, even without the help of binoculars, a bright point in the sky will be visible, and if you resort to the help of a telescope, the picture will be completely fantastic.

Mars will be only 56 million km from the earth's orbit and will affect our entire planet. No wonder Mars is named after the god of war. It will bring heavy flows of energy to the Earth: human emotions on this day will be at the peak of tension. You can take advantage of this state of affairs, but only by letting this activity go only to good deeds. Conspiracies and love spells on this day will be especially strong and effective.

The first time such a phenomenon was noticed in 2003. Astrologers were greatly shocked by an amazing fact: the red planet was clearly visible in the sky. Prior to this, this happened long before our era, when our planet was just beginning to emerge. We will be able to see a unique event this August as well.

Space scientists will try to take advantage of the approach of Mars to better study the red planet. This is the only planet in the universe on which, like on Earth, life can be found. Scientists do not exclude that by sending a special apparatus to Mars during this period, it will be possible to detect traces of an alien civilization. It is not yet known whether launch attempts will be made.

Everyone can enjoy the amazing view of a distant planet. It will be possible to do this from 00:00 - 01:00 (Moscow time). At this hour, Mars will be especially bright.

This year, August is rich in amazing astronomical events. Following the stunning starfall of the Perseids, the inhabitants of the Earth will be able to enjoy another celestial beauty. Don't miss this unusual event, watch the sky on August 27, 2015. We wish you good luck and don't forget to press the buttons and

According to a number of sources, on the night of August 27, Mars will approach the Earth at a record-close distance, so its apparent size will become similar to the size of the Moon.

For several years now, rumors have been circulating around the world that it is on August 27 every year that a rather unusual phenomenon can be seen in the sky, these are two moons.

In fact, scientists have refuted this statement and do not advise looking at the night sky on the 27th in anticipation of miracles. Mars will not shine as brightly as the Moon, and all you will see in the sky tonight is a small dot in the background of the Moon, since the red planet will be 10,000 brighter than the full moon.

The Martian hoax took place in 2003, when a huge number of people around the world through Email it was announced that on the twenty-seventh of August the red planet, when viewed without special equipment, would appear larger than the full moon.

Two moons in the sky August 27, 2015 what time

For a whole decade since 2005, this hoax has been repeated every year. It was based on the message that in 2003 Mars and Earth will approach at an unprecedentedly small distance of 55,758,006 km. This information was misinterpreted, which led to the appearance of the myth.

Every year in August, news appears on the Internet that two moons will appear in the sky at the end of the month. Having familiarized yourself with entry-level astronomy, you can be sure that this cannot be. Yes, indeed, Mars will approach the Earth, but it will be slightly larger than an ordinary star. All this is explained by the position of the orbits in the solar system.

So armed with a telescope, you can see a big red “star” in the night sky. Of course, the spectacle is not as mesmerizing as we would like, but still it is worth a look.

Previously, the maximum approach of Mars to the Earth was recorded in 2003, then the red planet approached the Earth by less than 56 million km and the opposition was called "thousand-year". For comparison, the usual distance is 80-100 million km. Scientists also assured that if Mars approached at such a distance at which it could be seen as the Moon, it would turn into a catastrophe for the Earth due to gravity.

Also very often photos and videos are attached to this message. It is very puzzling that even with the closest approach of Mars to the Earth, it simply cannot be seen like that, and even more so with the naked eye.

Two moons in the sky August 27, 2015 time

Yes, the Earth was certainly not lucky with satellites - even Mars has two of them, so the desire of earthlings to see two moons can be understood. Although it is not at all excluded that it was ever possible! But then there was no one and no time to look at the night sky.

The Internet is full of information about the new convergence. They promise that at half past midnight on August 27, 2015, earthlings will be able to observe two moons instead of one.

Unfortunately, this is another misconception and lovers of the bright phenomena of space should not expect the appearance of a second moon in the sky.
There is also good news. Many earthlings are waiting for a special full moon, a night when the Moon will be at the smallest distance from the Earth, that is, its diameter will be much larger than usual. This phenomenon is called a supermoon.

So, the same wonderful program Stellarium reports that the Earth and Mars will be separated by a distance of 2.5 astronomical units (1 astronomical unit = the average distance from the Earth to the Sun and ~ 150 million kilometers). So Mars will be from us at a distance of 375 million kilometers. It's a lot, a lot. This is 1000 times farther than the Moon is located. And therefore, the size of the Moon, Mars in the sky certainly cannot be.

Two moons in the sky when will it be in 2015

Fact one: Mars will never come as close to Earth as it did on August 27, 2003.

Well, the second interesting fact: The closest approach was on April 8 and 14, 2014, and even then Mars was a little brighter than all the stars, but no more, and even more so, he could not compete with the size of the Moon.

For example, on August 27, 2011, approximately immediately after midnight, Mars passed at a close distance from the Earth - and therefore it could be seen with the naked eye. Of course, it was not the size of a night star - but still larger than many stars. So it was possible to get an idea of ​​what we could observe if we actually had a second satellite. AT next time such a miracle is expected in at least 280 years.

Strictly speaking, the period of morning visibility of Mars and Venus will already begin in the last days of August. But do not delude yourself - both planets will appear only for a few minutes in the eastern part of the horizon, very low and therefore will not be visible due to the very different type buildings with which we, the inhabitants of large cities, always litter the entire horizon. And looking for Mars in the morning sky is still more optimistic in September.

The sacred date in the calendar is approaching - August 27 ... and it doesn’t matter what year it is - the Russian people, like the ancient Greeks, tend to live in a circle, despite the fact that the whole modern world is rapidly rushing forward with increasing speed - right into the forehead of the inevitable singularity - I am sure that Russia will be able to avoid it, in the gloomy expanses of the northern latitudes we will not even notice it, we will bypass it, we will warm up ...

So, every year - for the past 12 years - the illiterate part of the Russian population celebrates the annual passage of the planet Mars over the Kremlin. This is our national treasure. As a result of this unique event, Mars is supposed to be the size of the Moon, and maybe two Moons - it's up to someone as lucky.

Why do I know about it? - because I monitor the statistics of visits to my site. And here for last week its attendance has increased dramatically - mainly due to interest in the article "", which site visitors read 2637 times in 7 days ... although it is old, a year old, you don’t have to be Sherlock Holmes to understand: Our people are sure that this happens every year. After all, Victory Day happens every year, Birthday too. And it should. Why would it suddenly be different?

So, until this event (according to our simple-minded citizens) there is only a month left - July 27 on the calendar - and we need to find out everything, prepare well for the heavenly sign ...


What is the meaning of the prophecy, you can figure it out without me, but in any case I have to write about it. The bottom line is that on the night of August 27-28, 2003, Mars was indeed relatively close to Earth - the Great Opposition of Mars took place - we were separated by a distance of 56 million kilometers and Mars shone in the sky as one of the most bright stars("like" because Mars is not a star, but a planet - this is a big difference) and of course for the eye it seemed to be a point object, not from the Moon at all - just a bright point. Nevertheless, some joker started a “duck” on the Internet that there would be an unprecedented heavenly show, comparable to the end of the world, and that this happens once every 284 years ... and the “duck” has been flying annual flights since then. And people believe - it's just people - "they're not experts"(c) Vladimir Putin.

I have already described in detail that Mars cannot possibly be the size of the Moon, even if we all ask it very much together. I also explained in detail what will happen if we interrogate this - it will be bad for us ... very much.

Therefore, I will not repeat myself and will simply tell you how Mars will be located in our northern sky of the long-awaited August 27, 2015. I deliberately do not write "how it will be seen", because Mars will practically not be visible these days, just as it is not visible now - a month before this sacred date of all Russia.

Public and free program for all types of personal computers, tablets and smartphones Stellarium (each of those reading these lines should immediately download and install one on their computer so as not to be led to fables from now and forever and ever) reports (and colorfully shows) that on August 27, 2015 years, several planets of the Solar System at once will be located in the sky quite close to the Sun, which means they will not be visible, because they rise and set almost simultaneously with the Sun. These are Mercury, Venus, Mars and Jupiter. Three more planets - Saturn, Uranus and Neptune - will be visible in the evening or at night - they are in perfect order. But we are interested in Mars, which is close to the Sun in the sky - it is located in the constellation adjacent to the Sun (in the constellation of Cancer, near the open star cluster "Manger"), and therefore is lost in the sun's rays.

Strictly speaking, the period of morning visibility of Mars and Venus will already begin in the last days of August. But do not deceive yourself - both planets will appear only for a few minutes in the eastern part of the horizon, very low and therefore will not be visible due to the most different types of buildings with which we - residents of large cities - always littered the entire horizon. And looking for Mars in the morning sky is still more optimistic in September.

It is very important for us now to figure out how, in relation to the Earth and the Sun, Mars will be located in space, and how far will it be on this magical day?

It is easy to guess that if Mars is visible towards the Sun, then in fact it is much further away from us than the daylight. Because the orbit of Mars is located around the Earth's orbit - Mars revolves around the Sun at a greater distance than the Earth and it cannot be between the Earth and the Sun. Only behind the sun.

So, the same wonderful program Stellarium reports that the Earth and Mars will be separated by a distance of 2.5 astronomical units (1 astronomical unit = the average distance from the Earth to the Sun and ~ 150 million kilometers). So Mars will be from us at a distance of 375 million kilometers. It's a lot, a lot. This is 1000 times farther than the Moon is located. And therefore, the size of the Moon, Mars in the sky certainly cannot be.

Indeed, on this day, its angular diameter will be less than 4 seconds of arc (astronomers measure the apparent dimensions celestial bodies in degrees, minutes and seconds: there are 360 ​​degrees in a full circle of the celestial sphere, 60 arc minutes in one degree, and 60 arc seconds in one arc minute). From this it follows that even through a telescope, Mars will be almost point-like - 500 Mars can fit in the diameter of the Moon (with which we constantly compare Mars today). And of course, it is unlikely that even the most powerful telescope will be able to see anything on the surface of the tiny disk of the red planet - you have to wait a year before Mars approaches the Earth and confrontation occurs. That's when you need to compare. However, even in the era of opposition, Mars and the Moon will be completely incomparable in terms of apparent size. And the way we imagine it, Mars is visible only with cameras space stations who have visited him regularly in recent years.
