Astronomy on Tap Las Cruces features speakers presenting exciting astronomy topics, current events in astronomy, a space-themed quiz, and beer! Join us for a great night of space and drinks!
We held two events, on January and February 2020, prior to shutting down due to covid. On November 9th, 2023 we emerged from our long hibernation, for an event on the Boneyard Cantina on Downtown Plaza.
Our events are held monthly. Follow us on facebook and twitter for more information.
AoT Las Cruces is organized by Joe Burchett, Stephanie Ho, and Wladimir Lyra, from the Department of Astronomy at New Mexico State University (NMSU).
