Astronomy on Tap Flagstaff | Beyond the Main Sequence: The Fate of Planetary Systems

August 10 @ 5:00 PM - 6:30 PM MST

Free
This summer, Astronomy on Tap Flagstaff is bringing you double the science up at Snowbowl! We’re holding special events at Agassiz Lodge, where you can enjoy food and drink while watching fascinating science talks. Be sure to stick around for trivia, where you’ll have a chance to win incredible Lowell Observatory and Snowbowl prizes. After the event, take a ride up the Arizona Gondola to catch the sunset from 11,500 feet!
This month’s speaker is Lowell astronomer Dr. Taylor Kutra, who will talk about planets around white dwarfs! You think planets orbiting white dwarfs just fell out of a coconut tree? No! They exist in the context of post-main sequence evolution. In this talk, we will explore the puzzling discoveries of planets and disks around these dead stars. We’ll see you there!
Astronomy on Tap Flagstaff events are free and require no ticket. You can purchase your Sunset Gondola tickets here: https://www.snowbowl.ski/sunset-gondola-rides/
