- This is a near-Earth object with a diameter of about 30 meters. It was discovered on August 29, 2006, when it was at a distance of 4.5 million km. from our planet. Scientists observed the celestial body for 10 days, after which the asteroid ceased to be visible in telescopes.

Based on such a short observation period, it is impossible to accurately determine the distance at which the asteroid 2006 QV89 will approach the Earth on 09/09/2019, since the asteroid has not been observed since then (since 2006). Moreover, according to various estimates, the object may approach our planet not at all on the 9th, but on a different date in September 2019.

As for whether 2006 QV89 will hit Earth on September 9, 2019 or not - the chance of a collision is extremely low.

Thus, the Sentry System (developed by the JPL Center for NEO Studies) shows that the probability of a body colliding with the Earth is 1:9100 (those. about one ten thousandth of a percent).

The European Space Agency (ESA) estimates the chance of an asteroid orbit crossing our planet as 1 to 7300 (0,00014 % ). The ESA ranked 2006 QV89 as the 4th celestial body of potential danger to Earth. According to the agency, the exact time of the "flight" of the body on September 9, 2019 is 10:03 Moscow time.

In both Orthodoxy and Catholicism, Easter always falls on a Sunday.

Easter 2020 is preceded by Great Lent, which begins 48 days before the Bright Holiday. And after 50 days celebrate the Trinity.

Popular pre-Christian customs that have survived to this day include dyeing eggs, making Easter cakes and curd cakes.


Easter treats are consecrated in the church on Saturday, on the eve of Easter 2020, or after the service on the very day of the Feast.

To greet each other on Easter should be the words "Christ is Risen", and to answer - "Truly Risen."

For the Russian team, this will be the fourth game in this qualifying tournament. Recall that in the previous three meetings, Russia "at the start" lost to Belgium with a score of 1:3, and then won two dry victories - over Kazakhstan (4:0) and over San Marino (9:0). The last victory was the largest ever for the existence of the Russian national football team.

As for the upcoming meeting, according to the bookmakers, the Russian team is the favorite in it. The Cypriots are objectively weaker than the Russians, and nothing good can be expected from the upcoming match for the islanders. However, we must take into account that the teams have never met before, and therefore we can expect unpleasant surprises.

The Russia-Cyprus meeting will take place on June 11, 2019 In Nizhniy Novgorod at the stadium of the same name built for the 2018 FIFA World Cup. Start of the match - 21:45 Moscow time.

Where and what time do the national teams of Russia and Cyprus play:
* Location of the match - Russia, Nizhny Novgorod.
* Game start time - 21:45 Moscow time.

November holidays 2017 - calendar

The holiday itself - National Unity Day - often causes misunderstanding. Someone shrugs their shoulders in bewilderment and confuses this day with the Independence Day of Russia, someone recognizes only November 7 and considers November 4 a kind of “transfer” of a memorable date, and for someone November 4 is the day of the Kazan Icon of the Mother of God. The majority simply enjoys an additional day off in a series of tired autumn days.
Therefore, it would probably be useful to recall that National Unity Day is a memory of the events of bygone days, namely, the liberation of Moscow from the Polish interventionists by the people's militia, headed by Kuzma Minin and Dmitry Pozharsky. It was in 1612. This date is a turning point in the history of Russia, it marks the end of the Time of Troubles.

The first sculptural composition of Moscow, the first monument dedicated to folk heroes is the monument to Minin and Pozharsky in Moscow. It was built not with state money, but with donations collected throughout Russia by the initiators - the Free Society of Lovers of Literature, Sciences and Arts. And it was also the first time. The collected donations were enough not only to create the famous sculptural composition, which, by the way, was cast in bronze in St. Petersburg, and sent to Moscow by water through Nizhny Novgorod, but also to the obelisk in Nizhny Novgorod, where, in fact, the second militia was born.
