Doha: The activities of World Space Week 2025 kicked off at the Cultural Village Foundation (Katara) yesterday in an exciting scientific and educational atmosphere at the Al Thuraya Astronomical Dome – Building 41. 

The event will run until October 7, from 5pm to 8pm, with the participation of a number of experts and specialists, and a large attendance of enthusiasts and students from various age groups (8 years and above).

Katara’s organisation of this event comes within its commitment to spreading scientific and astronomical culture and enhancing awareness of space and its sciences, through activities that combine knowledge and entertainment, and contribute to enriching scientific thought within the community, especially the youth, encouraging them to look towards the horizons of innovation and discovery.

The programme includes a series of workshops, shows, and lectures held over four days. The first day featured a short film screening, a lecture titled “Phases of the Moon” presented by astronomical expert Dr. Bashir Marzouk, in addition to a workshop for children titled “Thunder Moon”.

On the second day, a lecture on the “Basics of Astrophotography” will be held, presented by Rabiah Al Kuwari, followed by a screening of “The Photographer’s Journey”.
