Who is the main character of Pushkin's Tale of the Priest in the church-censored version? Pushkin's "The Tale of the Priest and his Worker Balda" was not published during the poet's lifetime, and even after his death it was published for a long time in the editorial office of Zhukovsky, who replaced the priest with the merchant Kuzma Ostolop. Without these changes, the fairy tale had no chance at all of being passed by church censors. The author's text became known to the general public in the 20th century, but the version about the merchant has not been forgotten. In 2011, the rector from Armavir, with the approval of the leadership of the Russian Orthodox Church, released it in a small edition for distribution in Sunday schools and church shops. Authors: Jimmy Wales, Larry Sanger Random interesting fact from the Great Encyclopedia: What is radio astronomy? In 1931, a communications engineer at Bell Laboratories was investigating atmospheric radio interference that could affect transoceanic telephone communications. He caught some noises, clearly not coming from a thundercloud, but from somewhere in space. He discovered that it is possible to receive radiation from the galaxy. Thus was born a new branch of astronomy - radio astronomy. Radio astronomy is developing in two directions. With the help of special antennas, it is possible to capture the radiation of space objects. This may be thermal radiation (radiation of radio waves emitted by any hot body). But there are also noises, or static interference of cosmic origin, also picked up from space, but not at all thermal in origin. Another branch of radio astronomy is sending signals to objects such as meteors and the Moon and picking up their reflections. This is how radar works. Radio astronomy is most useful for studying the Sun, meteors, the Moon, and the planets of the solar system. By capturing the reflection of rays from meteors, we learn a lot about their orbits. Exploring the moon using radio astronomy techniques, we learn a lot about its surface. So, even before people set foot on the moon, thanks to radio astronomy data, scientists already knew that its surface is a rock crushed into dust. Probably one of the most exciting areas of radio astronomy is the search for signals from other worlds. Now radio telescopes have been improved to the point where they can pick up signals coming from a distance of almost eighty trillion kilometers. What signals are scientists hoping to pick up? It is believed that if somewhere in deep space there is a civilization other than ours, and it wants to make its presence known, then our brothers in mind will probably send some very simple signal, such as a series of numbers. It is also believed that these signals are likely to be received at a purity of 1420 MHz - the frequency at which simple hydrogen emits radiation waves in outer space.
