This month, public lands advocate and sky enthusiast Kim Garrison Means will introduce Southern Nevada's newest national monument, Avi Kwa Ame; discuss the upcoming process of designating it as an International Dark Sky Park; and share opportunities to get involved.

First time coming to a general meeting? We welcome you! Here are some tips to make it easy for you!
--Get there a little early, this past month we had a full house!
--Parking is free in either of the two lots next to the Planetarium.
--And here's how to find it:
1) Navigate/map to "CSN Planetarium Parking".
2) Park in that lot, or the larger lot just before it. Both are accessible from the road after you turn off of East Cheyenne Ave. Parking is free.
3) Next to both parking lots is a drop-off car loop that is near the Planetarium entrance, which is just behind it. You'll see a large letter "S" on a building; go just to the right of the "S" building. Go into the doors that say "SOUTH ENTRANCE" in big letters.
4) You will see a bench seat; the Planetarium door is just a few steps further. Come on in and take any open theater seat.
