It was 13.8 billion and 24 years in the making, but finally, the new COSMOS is here. On Sunday, March 9, FOX Television will premiere “COSMOS: A Spacetime Odyssey,” hosted by Neil deGrasse Tyson. AAHS is inviting the entire congregation for a viewing party that night at UUCCSM. We’ll gather beginning at 8:30 p.m. before the show airs from 9 to 10 p.m. Twenty-four years after Carl Sagan told us “we are all made of star stuff” in the original “COSMOS: A Personal Voyage,” his widow and writing partner, Ann Druyan, has teamed up with astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson to bring us an all-new, updated 13-part series. Our understanding of the universe has changed since 1980 and this new “COSMOS” will show us some of what we’ve learned about it since then: exoplanets around other stars, water on Mars, and an accelerating universe driven by the mysterious forces of dark energy.

 

AAHS: Agnostics, Atheists, Humanists & Secularists invites you to join us for the premiere of the first episode of this much-anticipated television event. We’ll be projecting the broadcast in the Sanctuary (following the 2nd Sunday Supper in Forbes Hall, for those who would like to attend both). Parking at the 16th and Arizona structure will be available and we’ll be arranging an after-party to share our thoughts on the show at a location to be determined.

Check the AAHS table in Forbes Hall on Sundays following services for more information.
