SUMMARY:Robot Landings and Exploring the Solar System
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the seventh Astronomy on Tap (AoT) event in Zurich; this time’s theme – Robots in space exploration! \n\n\n\n\nRobot Landings and Exploring the Solar System\nAstronomy on Tap (AoT) is a global sensation\, bringing astronomy enthusiasts and casual stargazers together in local pubs to explore the wonders of the universe. \nWe introduce you to like-minded enthusiasts and give you a chance to ask your burning questions directly to the experts!! \nParticipate in our pub quiz to win exciting prizes (including meteorites!)\, and look at fun scientific demonstrations. \nAt this event\, we follow robotic explorers from the sky to the surface! Our first talk\, “Getting There: EDL in Planetary Exploration\,” dives into Entry\, Descent and Landing: the nail-biting moments when a spacecraft plunges through an atmosphere at thousands of kilometres per hour\, battles extreme heat\, and has to slow to a gentle touchdown entirely on its own. Our second talk\, “Being There: Operating Robots on the Lunar Surface\,” picks up where the landing leaves off\, revealing what it takes to keep a robot alive and working on the Moon\, from harsh temperatures and clingy lunar dust to steering a machine 384\,000 km away. \nCome and quench your intellectual thirst – and perhaps discover new worlds over a beer at The Alehouse!! \n\n\nagenda\n\n\n\n06:30 PM – Doors Open \n7:00 PM–7:30 PM – Jody Dawson – “Getting There: EDL in Planetary Exploration” \n\n\n7:30 PM–8:30 PM – Drinks Break + Pub Quiz (win prizes!!) \n\n\n8:30 PM–9:00 PM – Elena Krasnova – “Being There: Operating Robots on the Lunar Surface”

SUMMARY:Astronomy on Tap San Francisco - October 2026
DESCRIPTION:Local astronomers talking about stars\, planets\, and the universe at your neighborhood bar. No PhD required. \nTickets here. \n\n\n\nAstronomy on Tap is is a free public lecture series where astronomers give short\, laid-back talks over drinks at local bars. No background in science required — our scientists share cool stuff about space while the audience sits back and relaxes\, with plenty of time to indulge their curiosity and ask whatever questions they want. \nThis month\, we’re hosting: \nNick Rodd (LBL) – The Latest in the Search for Dark Matter \nand \nSeth Shostak (SETI Institute) – Are We Alone in the Universe? \nRodd is a Divisional Fellow at Lawrence Berkeley Lab and former faculty member at CERN. Shostak is the senior astronomer for the SETI Institute\, co-hosts of the weekly podcast Big Picture Science\, and author of four books on the search for extraterrestrial life. \nAstronomy on Tap takes place in cities all over the world. This is a revival of the San Francisco chapter\, which regularly hosted events before the pandemic. We’re excited to be back on a monthly basis! \nThe event is free\, but there is a 1 drink minimum. Food (tacos or banh mi) will be available with vegetarian options. \nIf you’d like to join our mailing list to hear about future events\, sign up here.
