Join Astronomy Uncorked for a relaxed evening, learning a little astronomy over a glass of wine.
Description
Astronomy on Tap ATX is partnering with C. L. Butaud for Astronomy Uncorked.
How do astronomers discover planets orbiting distant stars? What have they found, and how do these exoplanets differ from the familiar planets in our solar system? Join astronomy professor and UT alumnus Dr. Brian W. Mulligan for an exciting journey beyond the boundaries of our cosmic neighborhood as we uncover the methods used to find exoplanets, the incredible variety of these distant worlds and what they reveal about the vastness of our universe.
Astronomy on Tap ATX (AoTATX) is usually held on the second or third Tuesday of every month at Celis Brewing at 8:00 pm during summer and 7:30 pm the rest of the year. 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.
