Retro Night at Strasenburgh Planetarium — Asimov and a 1983 Rochester Original, November 13

The Strasenburgh Planetarium is pulling something remarkable out of its archives: a night that takes you back to 1983, when a Rochester high school student named Joe Ricci wrote and produced a planetarium show of his own. Retro Night pairs that original Skies of Autumn with a fulldome adaptation of Isaac Asimov's The Last Question — a short story that has haunted generations of readers since 1956. It is an evening for grown-ups who love science, stories, and a well-stocked cash bar under the stars of their own city.

Date: Friday, November 13, 2026 Time: 7:30 PM – 9:15 PM Location: Strasenburgh Planetarium, RMSC, 657 East Avenue, Rochester, NY 14607 Cost: Ticketed (Ages 18+, alcohol served)
