Pokhara
Astronomical Society is organizing ‘Pokhara Yuri’s Night
Celebration and Space Party’ in Celebration of Yuri's Night-2016 and
Global Astronomy Month (GAM-2016)
Yuri's Night is an
annual worldwide effort to engage a new generation in the passion and
excitement of Space. On April 12, 1961, Yuri
Gagarin completed a 108 minutes flight around the Earth piloting
"Vostok 1", a mission that marked the beginning of the human
exploration of space. This pioneering effort is honored with an event that
bridges continents and countries, and challenges new generation to create a
positive vision for the future of humanity. Yuri's Night 2016 commemorates the
past and celebrates modern space landmarks.
Exactly 20 years later
(April 12th, 1981), the United States embarked on a new era in spaceflight with
the inaugural launch of a new type of spaceship — the Space Shuttle. Designed to carry a larger crew and large volumes of
cargo to orbit, the Space Shuttles became synonymous with human spaceflight for
an entirely new generation of young people.
Space
enthusiasts are requested to book their seat to participate in this global
celebration. We hope to see you dream, explore and celebrate with us.

“Circling the Earth in my orbital spaceship I
marveled at the beauty of our Planet. People of the world, let us safeguard and
enhance this beauty - not destroy it!”-
Yuri Gagarin, 1st person in Space
