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.
Surrounding us and flowing through us are an unknown form of matter that we can’t see, called dark matter. Join astronomy professor and UT alumnus Dr. Brian W. Mulligan to discover how dark matter is detected, what we know and what we don’t know about this mysterious phenomenon.
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.
