Celebrating Yuri Gagarin and the Space Shuttle              

Yuri’s Night is the global celebration of human space travel, held annually on April 12. Yuri’s Night commemorates both the historic first flight of Cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin on April 12, 1961, as well as the launch of the first Space Shuttle (STS-1) exactly 20 years later. This year we’re celebrating the 45^th anniversary of Yuri’s flight and the 25^th anniversary of STS-1, so we expect the highest turnout ever!
