Astro On Tap-Seattle: Finding Mysterious Objects in the Universe
August 30, 2023 @ 7:00 PM - 9:00 PM EDT
Free
Get excited for Astronomy on Tap at Bickerson’s Brewhouse in Ballard at 7pm!
First Andy Tzanidakis will take us on a journey as we search for the most mysterious stars in the Milky Way. Then we have Dr. Yakov Faerman tell us all about dwarf galaxies and where to find them!
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.
Be sure to follow us on Twitter and Facebook to get updates on future events!

Speaker: Yakov Faerman
Bio:Yakov Faerman is a postdoctoral scholar in the Astronomy department. Born in Ukraine, he grew up and spent most of his life in Israel, and completed both his undergraduate studies and PhD research at Tel Aviv University. His main topic of interest today is the circumgalactic medium – the diffuse gas surrounding galaxies – which he studies by constructing theoretical models and comparing them to observations. Outside of work, Yakov enjoys photography, hiking, and reading, in different amounts that vary with time.
