About this Event
Astronomy on Tap is back in KW, so join us to sit back, relax, and learn about the Universe, while also having a couple of drinks and a bit of fun!
In 2019, the Event Horizon Telescope released the first ever image of a black hole, definitively proving the existence of these strange beasts for the very first time. But, black holes aren't new! In fact, astronomers have now been trying to study and understand them for over a century.
At Astronomy on Tap this month, we'll be hearing all about the science of black holes from two experts studying these structures. Everett Patterson will tell us how astronomers and cosmologists reached our modern understanding of black holes from their theoretical origins, and Kiana Salehi, a member of the Event Horizon Telescope collaboration, will discuss what we can learn about our Universe from photographing a black hole.
Doors at 7:15pm | 8pm start | 19+
