Join Astronomy on Tap ATX for a night of astronomy talks about life in space with special guests.
Description
Join Astronomy on Tap ATX for their 97th show, featuring exciting talks corresponding with the SXSW conference in Austin:
- Dr. Cady Coleman, a former NASA astronaut who flew aboard the Space Shuttle Columbia and spent ~6 months living and working on the International Space Station.
- Ido Mizrahy, an award-winning filmmaker whose narrative and documentary films premiered at Sundance, SXSW, Tribeca, and MoMA’s New Directors / New Films, broadcast and distributed by AMC, Sundance, Netflix, Amazon, MTV, BBC and Arte. He is the co-creator of the VR experience Winterover, which premieres at SXSW this year and the director of the film Space: The Longest Goodbye, which features Cady Coleman and is a story of home and space.
As always, AoTATX is FREE and open to all ages. The show starts at Celis Brewery at 7 pm.
Astronomy on Tap ATX (AoTATX) is usually held on the second or third Tuesday of every month at Celis Brewing. AoTATX is currently organized by a committee of Austin-based astronomers.
AoTATX features accessible, engaging science presentations on topics ranging from planets to black holes to the beginning of the Universe. In addition to talks, each AoTATX has trivia, prize giveaways, Astronomy in the News and plenty of time to interact with the presenters and other astronomers in the audience.
Find them on Facebook, Twitter/X and Instagram. Selected talks from previous events can be found on their YouTube channel.
