Astronomy on Tap is a series of short, accessible talks about astronomy, over beer. Astronomy on Tap’s Triangle chapter will be moving its events to Fullsteam ATC, 320 Blackwell Street, #101, Durham, North Carolina.
They made this announcement on Facebook.
The events will take place the first Tuesday of the month at 7 p.m., and are free to attend.
All ages are welcome.
October 6, 2026
The featured speaker on October 6, 2026 is NC Museum of Natural Sciences scientist Dr. Rachel Smith, who will take us on an exciting tour through the universe in search of life beyond Earth. From our own planet and the Solar System to distant exoplanets and deep-space observations, Dr. Smith will explore how astronomers search for habitable worlds — and what the data can tell us about the possibility of life elsewhere.
She’ll also share some of her current research on massive forming stars and how these stellar nurseries connect to the formation of our own Solar System 4.6 billion years ago. More info on Facebook.
