Astronomy on Tap Los Angeles: Plasma Physics & Building a Star

Join us at 7:30PM PST, Monday, November 17th for Astronomy on Tap hosted at the outdoor Dog Haus Biergarten in Old Town Pasadena. This week, we are collaborating with plasma physicists from around the country for a special series of Astronomy on Tap events! We’ll hear from Auburn University Professor of Physics Eva Kostadinova giving a talk entitled “Dusty Plasma: From Fusion to the Rings of Saturn,” and Columbia University Research Scientist Oak Nelson speaking about: “Using Magnets to Build a Star on Earth.” In addition, we will have a telescope on-hand for guided stargazing, professional astronomers to answer your science questions, astronomically-themed pub trivia with prizes, and NASA educational swag!

The event is free and open to all ages. No reservations are necessary, just show up and stay only as long as you want. To view our past events, see our location page. For more information about our future events and affiliated Stargazing Lecture Series at Caltech, see our website.
