“The more we study the nearby and even more distant universe, the more we understand how precious Earth is.”

What would it take to be free of our earthly constraints? As it turns out, a lot. In his talk for CreativeMornings/Denver, astronomer and Assistant Curator of Space Science Dr. KaChun Yu guides us on a stunning journey through the cosmos in the Denver Museum of Nature and Science’s planetarium. Using cutting edge visualizations, he illuminates the unique factors that enable life on earth — and the constraints that make extraterrestrial colonization challenging. Follow Dr. KaChun Yu’s magisterial voyage through our solar system and discover the preciousness right beneath our feet.
