World Space Week coincides with both the launching of Sputnik I in October 4, 1957, and the adoption of the declaration on the peaceful use of space on October 10/1967

Traditionally, our Astronomy Salon coincides with the World Space Week. This year again, we will have to amenage it in order to make up from local circonstances: Two years ago it was the October 3rd 2005 annular eclipse, the year before it was election day, and those past years it is the fasting month of Ramadhan. Holding the events during that month with its different activities social wise is a no go, in addition to the fact that most of the members of the various associations would not be able to attend. We were thus left with the option of delaying it a bit .Yet we are organizing a special event during the space week itself.
