Astronomy on Tap Los Angeles is hosted at Der Wolfskopf in Pasadena one Monday each month.  Each event features informal talks by researchers from Caltech, NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Carnegie Institute of Washington, The Planetary Society, UCLA, Pasadena City College, Griffith Observatory, and more.  We also hold astronomy-themed pub trivia with prizes.

AoT LA is organized by Dr. Cameron Hummels.  For more information about our AoT schedule and related public astronomy events in LA, see our twitter feed, facebook page, and/or website.  To see photos of our previous events, check out our Flickr page.
