#AstroOnTap events have been paused, but we are working on a worldwide virtual extravaganza! (April 9 is our 7th orbitversary, just sayin’). In the meantime, make sure to follow @AoTBudapest, @aotbonn, & @AoTATX for their planned online events!


Remember that famous picture of the joy on Katie Bouman's face upon seeing the first picture of a black hole from the @ehtelescope? It also shows our third speaker of the night, Dr. Maciek Wielgus, who is telling us all about the EHT and pictures of black holes!

And lastly, Prof. Joe Carson crushes our hopes that I1/'Oumuamua and I2/Borisov are rocks being hurled at us by an alien civilization by pointing out that they're coming from completely different places. (Maybe two separate alien civilizations? 👽🛸👽)

If you're feeling a bit bummed about the state of the world these days, don't worry, eventually the Universe will end! @CofCSSM undergrad Bridget Ierace told us about all the ways that might happen!

First up, from Prof. Jon Hakkila: You silly humans think you can measure time with something simple like the length of a day. LOL nope! Because of tidal friction with the moon, the length of our day is constantly changing! (By just a tiiiiiiny bit, but still!)

The #BlueCosmos drink specials will be back! And one of our speakers likes to play fast and loose with silly rules like "the speed of light" and "causality"--come hear about how to break physics!

Have a drink, eat some pizza, and learn about astronomy! Join us @cofcphysics in the next @AoTCharleston on Wednesday October 9 at @MellowMushroom in downtown #CHS. Talks and trivia start at 5:30pm.
