Double moon in the sky on August 27. Blue Moon: two full moons in one month (2015)

In 2016, the fantasy film Warcraft was released on the silver screen, based on the popular series of games (with the original title Warcraft). Many people liked the picture, which raised the question: when will the sequel come out - the movie Warcraft 2.


In fact The big question is whether Warcraft 2 will ever be made.

And the point here is not at all a lack of audience interest in the story or a lack of source material. Many fans are eagerly awaiting the release of the film's sequel. One young man even posted a tweet in which he claimed that he had seen the science fiction film 4 times in IMAX, and was 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 this happening, but it all depends on the decision of the production media company Legendary Entertainment.

It is also unlikely that the large number of negative reviews that the first film received will hinder the release of Warcraft 2. There are many examples when, after serious criticism of the first parts, studios released sequels that had some success.

The main thing that determines whether Warcraft 2 will be released or not is the question of money. After all, it's just business. As you know, the first film failed at the US box office, but it did well in some other countries. For example, $156 million was collected in China, and overall box office receipts amounted to more than $430 million. That is, the financial success of the Warcraft 2 film is unlikely to be ensured in the United States, but in foreign markets, for example, in Russia and China, it will be possible to collect something. And producers, before starting filming, must decide for themselves whether they are willing to take the risk of the 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 film.

When will Warcraft 2 be released in Russia?

Despite the fact that there is no decision yet on the start of filming and the release date of the film Warcraft 2, an approximate release date can be given. Preliminarily this is May 2020. In Russia, this may well be Thursday, May 14, 2020.

Although, of course, not all parenting days fall on Saturday. So, the first parents' day after Easter in 2019, 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 May 7, 2019

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

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

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

The Scarlet Sails festive festival 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 now gained immense popularity among them. Why, St. Petersburg residents, a large number of guests from all over Russia and countries near and far abroad are planning to make a summer trip to St. Petersburg in order to see an exciting water show, colorful fireworks and numerous music concerts.

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

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

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

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

According to established tradition, the most interesting moments of the festive evening will be shown live Channel 5. The live broadcast is scheduled to begin at 22:00 .

What time are the fireworks:

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

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

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

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 expected to be the size of the Moon, and maybe the size of two Moons - depending on your luck.

Why do I know about this? - because I monitor the statistics of visits to my site. And over the last week, its traffic 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, and so does Birthday. And it should. Why will it suddenly be different?!

So, until this event (in the opinion of 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...


You can figure out what the meaning of the prophecy is 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 brightest stars ("like" because Mars is not a star, but a planet - this is a big difference) and of course to the eye it seemed like a point object, not at all like the Moon - just a bright point. Nevertheless, some joker spread a “duck” on the Internet that there would be an unprecedented celestial show comparable to the end of the world, and that this would happen once every 284 years... and the “duck” has been flying on annual flights ever since. And people believe - they're just people - "They're not experts"(c) Vladimir Putin.

I have already described in detail that there is no way Mars can be the size of the Moon, even if we all ask it so much. I also explained in detail what would happen if we did interrogate this - it would be bad for us... very much.

Therefore, I will not repeat myself and will simply talk about how Mars will be located in our northern sky on the long-awaited August 27, 2015. I deliberately do not write “as it will be visible,” because Mars will practically not be visible these days, just as it is not visible now - a month before this sacred date of all Rus'.

A publicly available and free program for all types of personal computers, tablets and smartphones, Stellarium (everyone reading these lines should immediately download and install one on their computer, so as not to be fooled by fables from now and forever) reports (and colorfully shows), that on August 27, 2015, several planets of the Solar System 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 exactly close to the Sun in the sky - located in the constellation adjacent to the Sun (in the constellation Cancer, near the open star cluster "Nursery"), and therefore is lost in the sun's rays.

Strictly speaking, already in the last days of August the period of morning visibility of Mars and Venus will begin. 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 be inaccessible to visibility due to the very different types of buildings with which we - residents of large cities - are always littered with the entire horizon. And it is still more optimistic to look for Mars in the morning sky in September.

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

It is not difficult to guess that if Mars is visible to the side of the Sun, it means that in fact it is much further from us than the daylight. Because the orbit of Mars is located around the Earth’s orbit - Mars orbits 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 Stellarium program 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). This means that Mars will be 375 million kilometers away from us. This is a lot, a lot. This is 1000 times further than the Moon is located. And therefore, Mars certainly cannot be the size of the Moon in the sky.

Indeed, on this day its angular diameter will be less than 4 seconds of arc (astronomers measure the apparent sizes of celestial bodies in degrees, minutes and seconds: in the full circle of the celestial sphere there are 360 ​​degrees, in one degree there are 60 arc minutes, and in one arc minute there are 60 arc minutes seconds). It follows from this that even in a telescope, Mars will be almost point-like - the diameter of the Moon (with which we constantly compare Mars today) can fit 500 Mars. And of course, it’s unlikely that even with the most powerful telescope it will be possible 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 a 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 apparent size. And the way we imagine Mars is visible only by cameras from space stations that have regularly visited it in recent years.

This August we will all be in for a most interesting celestial phenomenon. 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 using a telescope, the picture will be absolutely fantastic.

Mars will be only 56 million km from Earth's orbit and will affect our entire planet. It is not for nothing that 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 using this activity only for good deeds. Conspiracies and love spells on this day will be especially strong and effective.

The first time such a phenomenon was noticed was in 2003. Astrologers were greatly shocked by an amazing fact: the red planet was clearly visible in the sky. Before 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.

Space scientists will try to take advantage of Mars' approach to better study the red planet. This is the only planet in the universe on which, like on Earth, life can be discovered. Scientists do not rule out 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. This can be done from 00:00 - 01:00 (Moscow time). Mars will be especially bright at this hour.

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
