Astronomy on Tap - The Search for Planets Around Nearby Stars

What do we know about planets outside of our solar system? Are there really planets orbiting the nearest star system to ours, Alpha Centauri? Join us Monday, October 27th at 7:30PM as we discuss these topics and more at our next Astronomy on Tap. We'll host two ~20 minute talks, Q&A, and then follow it up with interactive, astronomical pub trivia, live music by Jason Achilles, and guided stargazing with telescopes!

Astronomy on Tap is a worldwide phenomenon where scientists take over local bars to discuss their research in 20-minute informal talks over beers. We host events at an outdoor space at the Dog Haus Biergarten in Old Town Pasadena. Event is totally free and open to all (including minors), no reservations necessary.
