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 fifteenth Aarhus edition will take place on Tuesday 14 May 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 recent discovery from the Event Horizon Telescope with the first image of a black hole in the centre of M87.

Our speaker for the evening will be Dr. Ole E. Bjælde. Ole is a cosmologist from Aarhus University, who now works as a Special Consultant for the Science and Technology Learning Lab at Aarhus University.

In addition to 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.
