WHAT WE DO
We organize solar and planetary observation sessions in schools, colleges and public places like parks. Till now we have conducted 100+ public astronomy events.
Our activities can be viewed on our main website and facebook page.
Since 2008, KAS has been holding public and private Astronomy events in Karachi. Since 2009, KAS has been doing Dark sky Astronomy trips outside of Karachi in different places in Sindh and Balochistan. These events are special events that are arranged and organized solely by the Karachi Astronomers Society (KAS) event management team.
In Pakistan, KAS started the trend of taking large groups of people outside city (such as Karachi) who love Astronomy, Astrophotography, photography, starry nights in general, camping, traveling, exploration, wildlife, mountains, peace, adventure, explore the galaxies and planets through telescopes and binoculars. The credit goes to the KAS Core team who took the step for initiating these dark sky trips outside Karachi. It wouldn’t have been possible without the efforts of these two travelers. Since 2013, Rutjugas are led by Abubaker Shekhani (Founding member of KAS), Mehdi Hussain (Founding member of KAS) and Mr. Hanif Bhatti.
Since 2009, KAS has organized Rutjugas at different dark sky places in Sindh and Balochistan including Hingol National Park, Kirthar National Park, Mud Volcanoes, Gorakh Hills, Bado Jabal, Mirpur Sakro, Kalri Lake, Ranikot Fort, Kalri Lake, Kanrach and some specific beaches of Balochistan such as Somniani and Sapat Beach.
KAS has its dedicated website on Rutjuga at www.rutjuga.com
