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:
Last year it was the October 3rd annular eclipse the
year before, it ws election day, and this year it is
the fasting month of Ramdhan which, receding every year
by some 11 day,s has now come during the World Space
Week. Holding the events during that month with its
different activities social wise is a no go, in addiion
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 to the week
end after the end of Ramadhan although we would organize
some events during the space week itself. |
