In October, the Moon will come its nearest to Earth — less than 360,000 kilometers away.

According to Vladilen Sanakoyev, an engineer at the Ural Federal University’s educational astronomical observatory, this will occur on October 7, when a supermoon takes place. On that day, the Moon will appear about 30% brighter and 14% larger than during a micromoon.

Starting October 8, the Moon will begin to move away from Earth, and by October 23, the distance will increase to 406,000 kilometers.

In addition, several rare astronomical events can be observed in mid-October: on October 13, the Moon will pass close to Jupiter, and on the morning of October 19, it will pass near Venus. As a result, residents of the Ural region will be able to witness an especially bright and unusual dawn.

Earlier, the scientist also warned that solar activity may reach a new peak.

In celebration of the National Healthcare and Pharmaceutical Industry Workers' Day, a state-of-the-art Maternal and Child Healthcare Center was officially inaugurated in the city of Balkanabat. The landmark event gathered regional and municipal officials, members of the Halk Maslahaty and Parliament, healthcare professionals, and community leaders. The opening ceremony featured festive cultural performances, musical numbers, and traditional Kushtdepdi dances.

The newly constructed medical complex consists of four- and five-story buildings designed to accommodate up to 305 patients. The center houses comprehensive maternity and postnatal wards, a gynecology division, pediatric units, and diagnostic consultation departments. The facility is equipped with advanced medical technology, including MRI, CT scanners, digital mammography, and fluorography units.

Notably, the center features the region's first 10-bed neonatal intensive care unit, fully outfitted with "Medicor" incubators from Hungary and high-precision German monitoring systems. These technologies allow medical staff to continuously monitor vital stats, body temperature, oxygen saturation, and respiratory functions of newborns.

During the ceremony, outstanding builders from the "Shadiyan Gurlushyk" enterprise were honored with gifts on behalf of the President of Turkmenistan, who also donated a new fleet of vehicles to support the medical center's operations.
