Astro On Tap-Seattle: Stellar Science!
October 18, 2023 @ 7:00 PM - 9:00 PM EDT
Free
First, Tobin Wainer will tell us all about how the stars in the night sky came to be. Then we have Dr. Chris Moore talk about how we launch astrophysics telescope and detectors!
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.
