Our sixth event in Seattle will be on August 26th from 7-9 pm at Ballard’s own Bad Jimmy’s.  To celebrate our sixth-month anniversary Bad Jimmy’s will be brewing a special beer for all the astro-enthusiasts out there! By popular vote, the beer has been dubbed “The Big Sipper.”

THIS MONTH Astronomy on Tap becomes Cosmos on Tap! This will be our second installment in the Cosmos: A Personal Voyage screening series, where we will host a guided viewing of the original Cosmos series with Carl Sagan (1980) complete with plenty of beer. We will have a guest speaker introduce the episode, lead discussions and a Q&A, and give updates on discoveries that have been made since the series first aired. As always, we will have astro-trivia with delicious prizes, but this month the trivia will be decidedly Cosmos-centric.

Don’t miss our sixth-month anniversary event and be sure to follow us on Twitter and Facebook  to get updates on future events!

THIS MONTH we’ll begin with beer and two new talks. The first is by University of Washington graduate student Rodrigo Luger on searching for alien Earths, and our second talk will be by  James Davenport, a soon-to-be PhD graduate from the University of Washington, on “How Stars Keep Active as They Age.” Then, we’ll play some astrotrivia with (tasty) prizes.
