50 years ago today, Yuri orbited the Earth. He returned home to his native Soviet Union as an international hero, and spent the next 8 years touring the world, touting the USSR’s great Cosmonaut program.

Here we’ve collected some gorgeous examples of art celebrating Yuri’s Night - and Yuri himself.
