Who’s ready for a #AstroOnTap SHOWDOWN!? Our two speakers will be giving a joint talk “boxing match” style where they will take opposite view points in a friendly debate about whether another planet exists somewhere in our solar system! Ring side views are first come first serve on July 24th Bickersons Brewhouse at 7pm!
Each FREE Astronomy on Tap event features accessible, engaging science presentations on topics ranging from planets to black holes to the beginning of the Universe. Most events have games and prizes to test and reward your new-found knowledge! There is always lots of time to ask questions and interact with the presenters and other scientists who inevitably stick around for the beer.
