Come join us again at Hilo Town Tavern on October 2nd, 7-9 pm for another event of Astronomy on Tap Hawai’i! We are joined this event by Leilehua Yuen and Jayke Nguyen, who will tell us about stories in the stars and UFOs and aliens. This event is completely free and open to everyone. There will be a new trivia game with prizes to win!
Stories in the Stars - Leilehua Yuen
In Hawaiian culture, the sky is our compass, map, calendar, and clock. It also is a vast book, with illustrations that scroll by high above us each night. An award-winning storyteller, Leilehua Yuen will share some we can see in the night sky of this month, ʻIkuwā.
UFOs, Aliens, and Our Biased Human Perspective - Jayke Nguyen
Humans frequently encounter surprising and unexplainable phenomena, often labeled as UFOs. How do we prove that these phenomena are truly alien in origin? Before we draw conclusions, we must first examine our own perspective and disentangle our own biases to separate science fiction from reality. In this talk, I'll discuss my view as an astrophysicist on UFOs and credible UFO evidence.
