With the help of eight observatories around the world, whose radio telescopes are synchronized by ultra-precise atomic clocks, earthlings for the first time saw an image of the most mysterious space object: a black hole.

Scientists did not doubt its existence, but they saw it for the first time.

A dark circle with an orange halo was named after the Powehi, which means "decorated dark source of endless creation" in Hawaiian.

Interview: Sergey Popov, Anatoly Cherepashchuk.

The plot for the 85th anniversary of cosmonaut Alexei Leonov.

The people closest to him, relatives and friends gathered in the cinema hall of the Memorial Museum of Cosmonautics.

In the central hall of the museum, an exhibition of paintings, photographs and personal belongings of the cosmonaut, which is called "Leonov", was solemnly opened.

In the Star City, in the cosmonauts' house, a meeting of the famous hero of the day's associates took place.

The plot starred Fyodor Yurchikhin, Zhugderdemidiyn Gurragcha, daughter of cosmonaut Oksana Leonova, Anatoly Artsebarsky, Alexander Alexandrov, Sergey Krikalev, Vasily Tsibliev.

The coming 2019 promises to be rich in space events.

One of the main ones is the launch into orbit of the Spectrum-RG astrophysical observatory, whose main task is to search for black holes, neutron stars, quasars and other objects, possibly still unknown to science, and eventually to make a complete map of the Universe.

The plot starred Sergey Popov, Rashid Syunyaev, Mikhail Pavlinsky, Andrey Okhlopkov, Igor Mitrofanov.

In Omsk, the production association "Flight" (a branch of the Khrunichev State Research and Development Center) is assembling the Angara-A5 heavy launch vehicle.

Various modifications of the rocket can be assembled from environmentally friendly universal modules, the first tests began in 2014. Scientists expect that soon the Angara will completely replace the Proton launch vehicle.

Employees of the PO "Flight" Sergey Kuznetsov, Viktor Shuliko and Alexander Malashenko talk about the creation of rockets and about the history of the enterprise, which appeared on the basis of the Tupolev aviation plant and the Tushinsky Machine-building plant.

In the preparation of the plot, the chronicle of different years and the frames of the film "Normandy - Neman" (1960, directed by Jean Dreville) were used.

A Proton-M rocket has been sent to Baikonur, its task is to launch the Spektr-RG scientific observatory into space, which will study the Universe in the X-ray wavelength range.

Interview about the operation of the instruments installed on board the observatory: Alexander Lutovinov, Boris Shustov, Mikhail Khailov.

The Proton launch vehicle with the Spectrum-RG astrophysical observatory is ready to launch from the Baikonur Cosmodrome.

Scientists tell in detail about the device of two telescopes installed on board the observatory: Russian "ART-XC" and German "E-Rosita".

Thanks to this telescope, it will be possible to see what has been happening in the universe for ten billion years, and find out what happened much earlier than the appearance of our planet, how the Earth was formed.

Scientists also hope to trace the history of the growth of supermassive black holes, because this is one of the largest cosmic mysteries.

The plot starred Mikhail Pavlinsky, Rashid Sunyaev, Ilya Lomakin, Alexander Lutovinov, Ivan Moskatinyev.

The plot for the 85th anniversary of cosmonaut Alexei Leonov.

The cosmonaut recalls and tells in detail about his first spacewalk and about the Soyuz - Apollo program, which marked the beginning of successful international cooperation, as well as about his long-term friendship with NASA astronaut Thomas Stafford and his passion for painting.

Interview: Alexey Leonov, Sergey Krikalev, Valentina Tereshkova.
