Only a week remained until the fifty-fifth anniversary of the first man’s flight into space. And, considering that April 12 falls on Tuesday, many events will take place on the weekend of April 9-10. It's time to decide where to go and where to celebrate. I offer you a list of activities by city.
Aggregators
The traditional aggregator of cosmic events is the site
Yuri's Night . Here you can see the planned events around the world. The specifics of the Night of Cosmonautics - the ability to celebrate home, informal and virtual events. Even if you are going to just watch a couple of space films with friends,
mark the event , it will be more pleasant to watch the map.

This year, the second aggregator appeared, the Russian - the
first vkosmosos.rf . The site has a
space calendar with a list of events, sorted by time. In addition, there are quite curious materials on space issues, there are own events and contests, and there they collect votes for the restoration of astronomy in the school curriculum.
