Neil deGrasse Tyson will bring the Cosmic Collisions show to The Chicago Theatre on September 19.

“All the things that go bump in the night (and in the day). And yes, the universe wants to kill you: On occasion these collisions — asteroid & comet impacts on Earth, render life extinct. Learn why and how this happens, and what we are doing about it.”
