This event is a production of the Planetary Society at Georgia Tech. It is free and open to the public, but admission charges for the planetarium show - $4 adults, $3 children - may apply.



The Planetary Society at Georgia Tech (https://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Planetary-Society-at-Georgia-Tech/109612129120759) invites you to attend the Atlanta installment of Yuri's Night (http://yurisnight.net/), a worldwide celebration of Yuri Gagarin's historic flight as the first human in space.



The celebration at the Fernbank Science Center (http://fsc.fernbank.edu/) will include space trivia, video clips on space exploration, a guest speaker from SpaceWorks (http://www.sei.aero/), a planetarium show featuring Mars, observatory viewing and, of course, the standing collection of the center's space-related exhibits.



The talk will begin at 7pm, with the planetarium show following at 8:00. Weather permitting, the observatory will open after the planetarium show and Saturn is likely to be on the viewing list.



This is a wonderful opportunity for you to come out and commemorate this historic event and socialize with fellow space enthusiasts from all around Atlanta.
