Secluded beauty in a bustling metropolis

📆 The history of the Novodevichy Convent lasts for almost half a millennium.

However, this place still remains quiet and peaceful, despite everything that is happening around it.

Every wall of this architectural ensemble is steeped in history. Thanks to its almost pristine condition, the Novodevichy Convent is protected by UNESCO and declared a heritage of all mankind.

Укромная красота в шумном мегаполисе

🔐Каждая стена этого архитектурного ансамбля пропитана историей. Благодаря своему практически первозданному состоянию, Новодевичий монастырь поставлен под охрану ЮНЕСКО и объявлен достоянием всего человечества.

🇷🇺 #OTD, on September 14, 1959, 65 years ago, the Soviet automatic interplanetary station "Luna-2" reached the surface of the Moon, becoming the first man-made object to touch another celestial body.

🌓 Launched on September 12 from the Baikonur Cosmodrome, "Luna-2" made a journey that ended in the Sea of Rains region near the craters Aristillus, Archimedes and Autolycus.

🟣The "Luna-2" mission was the second most important event in the history of cosmonautics after the flight of Yuri Gagarin, demonstrating the advanced achievements of the Soviet space program. Major scientific achievement is the first direct measurement of the solar wind and confirmation of the Moon's lack of a significant magnetic field and radiation belt.
