The space probe "Huygens" landed on the Titan

The probe was launched on October 15, 1997 in conjunction with the ''Cassini '' spacecraft.
On December 25, 2004 the probe separated from its carrier and began an independent movement to the Titan.
On January 14, 2005, the Huygens probe successfully entered the atmosphere of Titan and landed on its surface in an area called Xanadu.
This was the first (and for 2018 the only one) in history soft landing, accomplished in the Outer Solar System.
The probe sat on a solid surface, although landing in the ocean was also provided for its design.
Holidays
"Old" New Year
Today, everyone can afford to once again meet the onset of the New Year, thanks to the divergence of the Julian and Gregorian calendar.
The historical phenomenon “Old New Year” is celebrated in many former Soviet republics: Ukraine, Russia, Belarus, Abkhazia, Kazakhstan, as well as in Serbia, Montenegro, Romania and some parts of Switzerland.
Interestingly, the difference between the Julian and Gregorian calendars increases every century, when the number of hundreds in the year after the birth of Christ is not a multiple of four, by one day. Therefore, from March 1, 2100, this difference will be 14 days. And from 2101, Christmas and Old New Year will be celebrated a day later.
A lot of people believe in omens connected with the Old New Year:
- If on January 14 the first man enters your house - lucky! Hence, the year for all households will be successful. And if a woman - wait for trouble.
- On the Old New Year coins should not be counted. Foreshadows tears.
- January 14th is not advised to give money in a loan. Otherwise, they say, you will spend a year in debt.
- People's omen also says that it is not good to say on the eve of the Old New Year and on its first day the word “thirteen”.
- And do not take out garbage from the house. With him you can throw away the happiness.
- Ever since the times of Ancient Rus, a belief has come to us: " How you celebrate the New Year - so, a whole year came the same way".
Also on January 14...
The Order was founded by a small group of knights led by Hugh de Payne after the First Crusade to support the new Kingdom of Jerusalem in the hostile environment of its defeated Muslim neighbors, and also to provide protection to the many European pilgrims who went to Jerusalem after its conquest.
One of the most important activities of the Order was work with finances. That the Templars are the inventors of checks.
If the amount of the contribution was exhausted, then it could be increased with subsequent replenishment by relatives. Each check was provided with the depositor’s fingerprint. For operations with checks, the Order took a small fee.
The presence of checks freed people from having to move precious metals (playing the role of money), now you could go on a pilgrimage with a small piece of leather and get a full-fledged coin in any Komturii of the Templars!
