Welcome to the Laramie Astronomical Society & Space Observers Home Page. The Society was established in June of 1996. Our members come in all skill levels, from novice observers to professional astronomers. We gather together in order to share our knowledge and our wonder of the universe.

LASSO usually meets on the first or second Friday of each month, at the fire substation at 23rd and Reynolds. There is a presentation on a topic of general astronomical interest, along with a question and answer period for specific topics. Various types of telescopes are on hand for a viewing session after the meeting. The meetings are free and are open to the general public.
