Astronomy on Tap Los Angeles: X-Ray Astronomy & Aliens

Join us at 7:30PM PDT, Tuesday, June 16th for a special Astronomy on Tap for our 10th year anniversary and the second in a week of City of Astronomy events here in Pasadena. It features visiting scientists from around the world in town for the American Astronomical Society’s semi-annual meeting in Pasadena. This Astronomy on Tap will be one of three happening this week for the City of Astronomy, so stay tuned!

We’ll meet at the outdoor Dog Haus Biergarten in Old Town Pasadena, and hear from Max Planck Professor Esra Bulbul discussing: “Exploring the X-ray Universe with eROSITA.” After that, we’ll host George Washington University Research Professor Tom Rice in a talk entitled: “What We Talk About When We Talk About Aliens.” In addition, we will have telescopes on-hand for guided stargazing, professional astronomers to answer your science questions, astronomically-themed pub trivia with prizes, and NASA 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.
