Around the world, Astronomy on Tap features games, talks, and quizzes by professional astronomers and educators in the informal setting of a local bar.

Astronomy on Tap is organized by professional astronomers connected to Aarhus University. All events are in (simple!) English and take place at Tir Na nOg - free of charge. We welcome all ages and backgrounds - a passion for beer and/or astronomy is a bonus!

Our fourteenth Aarhus edition will take place on Wednesday 3 April (i.e., NOT Tuesday as normal!) at 19.30 in the Merchant Room at Tir Na nOg (Frederiksgade 38). Join us for an evening of informal astronomy and great beer! The event will revolve around the many amazing exoplanet discoveries from the NASA Kepler mission. We are very happy to announce that we will have one of the world’s foremost planet hunters as our speaker for the evening, namely:

- Natalie Batalha, Faculty at UC Santa Cruz, Co-Investigator and Mission Scientist of the NASA Kepler mission, and in 2017 named one of Time magazine’s 100 most influential people in the world.

In between the two parts of the talk, there will be fun astronomical games and quizzes! Use this opportunity to improve your astronomical knowledge or just show off to your friends!

To round off the evening there will be a presentation of current astronomical events in the night sky, in the news, etc.

AoT Aarhus 2019 is sponsored by ESO, the Stellar Astrophysics Centre (SAC) at Aarhus University, Aarhus University Press, Aarhus University Science Museums, and Astronomical Society.
