Yuri’s Night is a global initiative to popularize topics related to humanity’s cosmic past, present, and future. Traditionally, we at Ratio join the program, and this time we have prepared a series of interesting topics that we will fly through together. The crew we invite you to join includes two speaker stars who you have met on our stage before: Viktor Danchev and Stoil Ivanov. With them, we will circle three main themes, and in the meantime, we will have fun with a special thematic selection of music suitable for a space party.

To the moon and beyond 12 people stepped onto the surface of another celestial body between 1969 and 1972. To this day, it is one of the greatest achievements of NASA and humanity in general. But despite this promising start, Earthlings’ space expansion seems to be on indefinite hiatus…

What can we learn from the great Space Age of the 20th century, and are these lessons applicable today?

Are private space projects the solution and what can we expect from them in the near future?

How are things changing in the aerospace industry today?

What effects do new technologies have on gear, spacesuits, rockets, and everything else?

Hunting for water. The European Space Agency’s JUICE mission will undertake detailed observations of Jupiter’s icy moons – Ganymede, Callisto, and Europa. Equipped with a wide range of observational instruments, the spacecraft will give us valuable information about the conditions of these satellites and the potential possibilities for life on them. We will talk about the mission and discuss:

What are the plans for Juice and what are the expectations of the experts?

What does the path to Jupiter look like and how are the gravitational fields of various objects used to get there faster and more efficiently?

How can the study of Jupiter and its system of moons become a basis for the study of other gas giants in the universe?

Cosmos like in a movie Space invites not only explorers but also artists. Some of the most beloved blockbusters in history, from 2001: A Space Odyssey to Interstellar, are filled with epic cosmic vistas, bold visions of the future… and no small amount of creative wilfulness… We take a look at some of cinema’s favorites -Space to discuss:

Which movies best represent space and our journey through it?

Which titles do scientists dislike the most?

In fact, how important is scientific precision in the art world?

Yuri’s night 2023 - Sofia, Bulgaria;

When: 2023-Apr-12

Time: 07:00 PM (PDT) - 10:30 PM (PDT)

Location: KUPE / КУПЕ, Passage / Yard, ulitsa "Slavyanska", Sofia, Bulgaria.

Moon Mountain Named After Melba Roy Mouton, NASA Mathematician

Award-winning NASA mathematician and computer programmer Melba Mouton is being honored with the naming of a mountain at the Moon’s South Pole. Mouton joined NASA in 1959, just a year after the space agency was established. She was the leader of a team that coded computer programs to calculate spacecraft trajectories and locations. Her contributions were instrumental to landing the first humans on the Moon.

She also led the group of "human computers," who tracked the Echo satellites. Roy and her team's computations helped produce the orbital element timetables by which millions could view the satellite from Earth as it passed overhead.

The towering lunar landmark now known as “Mons Mouton” stands at a height greater than 19,000 feet. The mountain was created over billions of years by lunar impacts. Huge craters lie around its base—some with cliff-like edges that descend into areas of permanent darkness. Mons Mouton is the future landing site of VIPER, our first robotic Moon rover. The rover will explore the Moon’s surface to help gain a better understanding of the origin of lunar water. Here are things to know:

Mons Mouton is a wide, relatively flat-topped mountain that stretches roughly 2,700 square miles

The mountain is the highest spot at the Moon’s South Pole and can be seen from Earth with a telescope

Our VIPER Moon rover will explore Mons Mouton over the course of its 100-day mission

VIPER will map potential resources which will help inform future landing sites under our Artemis program

The VIPER mission is managed by our Ames Research Center in California’s Silicon Valley. The approximately 1,000-pound rover will be delivered to the Moon by a commercial vendor as part of our Commercial Lunar Payload Services initiative, delivering science and technology payloads to and near the Moon.
