Looking Up Since 1934
Astronomical Society of Nevada
Our mission is to encourage, foster, conduct and support programs on astronomy and related sciences for the education and enlightenment of the general public.

Welcome
Expand your appreciation of Nevada’s dark skies with like-minded people who love to share their telescopes, their wonder, and their knowledge of astronomy. Founded in 1934, the ASN is one of the longest-running amateur astronomy organizations in the western United States.
Members enjoy access to monthly meetings at the Fleischmann Planetarium, public and member-only star parties, our private Discord server with active community discussions, access to our inventory of club-owned equipment, and the warm camaraderie of fellow stargazers from across the Truckee Meadows and beyond.
What We Do
- Public star parties at Sparks Marina and other regional dark-sky locations, weather permitting
- Monthly meetings with guest speakers, member presentations, and observing reports
- Educational outreach for schools, scout groups, and community organizations
- Member-only observing sessions at darker sites away from city light
Join Us Under the Stars
Annual dues are just $30 — a small price for a community that has been looking up together for nearly a century. Whether you own a 16″ Dob or have never touched a telescope, you’re welcome here.
