When: Thursday, January 30, 2020, 6:00 PM to 7:30 PM
Where: Denver Museum of Nature & Science, 2001 Colorado Blvd · Denver, CO. How to find us: We’ll meet at the planetarium entrance at 5:45 pm. Look for Matthew Elisha, who will be wearing a Jefferson Humanists ballcap.
In January, we’ll go to the Denver Museum of Nature & Science to enjoy a planetarium show based on Isaac Asimov’s short story, The Last Question:
“In 1979, the Museum produced The Last Question, a planetarium show based on a short story by acclaimed science fiction writer Isaac Asimov and narrated by the legendary Leonard Nimoy. The story takes place in 2061 and begins with a simple question posed to a computer. Now you can experience the cerebral tale as never before during this totally out-there event that combines visual elements digitized from the original glass slides, Nimoy’s voiceover, and today’s advanced planetarium technology. Swing by the cash bar before the show, and view items from the Museum archives, including objects related to Asimov and Nimoy. Dr. Ka Chun Yu, curator of space science, will lead a Q&A after the program.
Tickets are $15, or $12 for museum members, and can be purchased at

The AHA states that humanism is “informed by science, inspired by art” and that “values…have their source in human experience and culture.” With that in mind, the Jefferson Humanists hosts a monthly program, dedicated to expanding our outlook on life.
Each month, we will enjoy a local cultural, arts or science event with fellow humanists. We might go to a movie or play, attend a science lecture or museum exhibit, take in a festival, examine art galleries or listen to an author talk about their new book.
To encourage participation, we seek events that are free or low-cost (under $15 per person).
Keep your eye on Meetup to see what is coming up.
