Astronomy on Tap is going strong in San Antonio, TX!
Drink in the Universe with Us!
Astronomy on Tap SATX is a monthly event where two scientists give ~15 min. presentations about exciting space-related topics while you “drink” it all in at a local bar! We also talk about the latest science in the news and cap it off with trivia and prizes!
We often “tap” into our local supply of incredible scientists – many of our speakers live and work right here in San Antonio!
