The stars have aligned for Colorado fans of the nascent pop-science resurgence. “Cosmos” host — and accomplished astrophysicist — Neil deGrasse Tyson will bring his speaking tour through Denver in early 2015.

The Temple Buell Theatre will host An Evening with Neil deGrasse Tyson on January 30. Tickets will go on sale this Friday, June 13 at www.NeildeGrasseTysonLive.com.

Tyson’s live appearances will feature multimedia presentations and Q&A sessions, which have in the past produced memorable (and widely shared) moments.

Denver is one of the first six announced cities on the tour, with more dates to follow.
