This live observation of the lunar landscape through Umair Asim's telescope was part of Khwarizmi Science Society's fourt falakyati mela (astrofest) in the fort of Rohtas, built around four centuries ago by Sher Shah Suri. Sher Shah also built the Grand Trunk Road. Umair describes lunar craters, mountains, shadows and marianas.

The Khwarizmi Science Society's resident astronomer Umair Asim gave a stunning presentation on elementary astronomy to a large audience in Rohtas. Here he is seen describing the international space station and the Mars rover. The historic fort was built by Sher Shah Suri in 1547.
