According to a press release, he was talking at the 'Astronomy Night' arranged by the National university of science and technology Science Society to promote all fields of Space Science through an interactive platform.

However, he said, resources are gradually being provided and institutes being set up due to heightened interest in the field. "It is a small try on our part to cater to this interest and we hope that it will not only be enlightening but also enjoyable and interactive," he said.

The 'space Night' was arranged to have a closer look at the stars, planets and other heavenly bodies through the eye of a telescope. The event got under way at the SCME, National university of science and technology Campus, Sector H-12, Islamabad.

Despite weather reports predicting clear skies on the eve of the scheduled event, cloud cover was a constant hindrance to view the scene that met the eyes of the participants. Dr. Sarwar Naqvi, professor and former head of the Department of Aeronautics & Astronautics at the Institute and Space Technology, Islamabad, was the guest speaker for the session. In coordination with Pakistan's Amateur Astronomers Society, two telescopes were installed in the lawn to see the heavenly bodies. The automated telescopes were positioned so that Jupiter, the largest planet of the Solar System, and four of its moons could be gazed upon by onlookers. Students and faculty members queued up behind the two telescopes to look through its protruding lens and wonder at the marvels of the universe. The news
