“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 \u2014 not destroy it!”\u00a0 \u2014 Yuri Gagarin, 1st\u00a0human in space.<\/em><\/p>\n

The National Space Society invites you to celebrate Yuri’s Night in your local area. Yuri\u2019s Night is a global celebration of humanity\u2019s past, present, and future in space. Yuri\u2019s Night parties and events are held around the world every April in commemoration of Yuri Gagarin becoming the first human to venture into space on April 12, 1961, and the inaugural launch of the first Space Shuttle on April 12, 1981.<\/p>\n

Yuri\u2019s Night events combine space-themed partying with education and outreach. These events can range from an all-night mix of techno and technology at a NASA Center, to a movie showing and stargazing at your local college, to a gathering of friends at a bar or barbecue.<\/p>\n

In 2011, the 50th anniversary of human spaceflight, over 100,000 people attended 567 officially-recognized events in 75 countries on all 7 continents, while tens of thousands more watched the 12-hour live Yuri\u2019s Night Global Webcast and participated online in the virtual world of Second Life.<\/p>\n

The list of North American events this year can be accessed at https:\/\/yurisnight.net\/events\/#north_america<\/a><\/p>\n

Yuri’s Night would like to thank the National Space Society for helping make Yuri\u2019s Night in Los Angeles on April 7 the best event ever in the long history of Los Angeles Yuri\u2019s Nights. The massive dance under the space shuttle Endeavour was truly awesome. (For details see www.la.yurisnight.net<\/a>.)<\/p>\n

This is just the beginning! On April 13 the Yuri\u2019s Night celebration will rock the Space Coast in Florida with a dance under the Space Shuttle Atlantis. Help the National Space Society make this party one for the history books.<\/p>\n
