Special Event: The Planetarium is displaying a mural-sized image of the center of the Milky Way Galaxy in the ArtSpace Gallery at the Cheyenne Campus. Produced by combining images from the Hubble Space Telescope, the Spitzer Infrared Space Telescope and the Chandra X-Ray Space Telescope. This is a finale event for the International Year of Astronomy. The mural will be on display in the ArtSpace Gallery through December 10, 2009 when it will be moved for permanent display opposite the planetarium entrance.
Special Lecture: Roundup at the Kepler Corral: The Race to Detect the First Earth-Sized Planet in the Habitable Zone of a Sun-like Star, featuring Dr. Jeffrey Van Cleve of the SETI Institute, will occur at 7:00 PM on Friday, November 20 in Room D-101 at the West Charleston Campus.
Student Appreciation Night: On the first Friday of each month, The Planetarium presents free admission to either the 6 pm or 7:30 pm performance with a valid CSN Student ID. If you do not have a Student ID Card yet, visit the Student Government area on any of the three main campuses of CSN.
After 7:30 pm performances, the telescopes at the Student Observatory will be open for viewing when the weather is clear.
