Astronomy on Tap Los Angeles is now hosted at the Dog Haus Biergarten 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 host astronomy-themed pub trivia with prizes, guided stargazing with telescopes, and occasionally live music by Jason Achilles. During COVID, our events were live-streamed and these recordings are still available for watch on our YouTube channel. We hope to restart recording and live-streaming on YouTube soon. We also host semi-regular foreign language events in Spanish and in Mandarin Chinese. These are predominantly virtual events, and can be found on our YouTube channel.
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, instagram page, and/or our website. To see photos and video of our previous events, check out our Flickr page, and YouTube channel.
