Astro on Tap NYC 171: Live from our Pale Blue Dot

​Started in 2013 right here in Brooklyn, Astro on Tap NYC is a free event series that has expanded around the world! NYC monthly events run on the 3rd Tuesday of the month, and feature astronomy researchers, professionals, communicators, and enthusiasts on stage presenting short, engaging talks. Plus games with prizes! Held at Somethin’ Else in the DeKalb Market. Bring your curiosity and join the fun, and drink in the universe with us!

This month, our 171st NYC event, we’re celebrating Earth Day! So we’ll be exploring the Earth in several different ways - from above, from the ground, and of course, astronomically. Our speakers this month are:

​•Bridget Ierace (she/her), NYC Astro on Tap, on planetary astronomy

​•Dr. Emma Thurau (she/her) , CUNY Lehman/NY Consortium of Evolutionary Primatology on mapping and geography, and her research in ecology

​•and Sarah Draves, CUNY NYC College of Technology, https://sarahedraves.github.io/, on Earth observations by satellite

​ALSO - we are excited to be opening the taste of science NY festival! Check out the full lineup of events for LOTS of science, and also find us at the SciComm Block Party at Caveat on May 3rd!

​Located in the DeKalb Market, Somethin’ Else is the bar next to the Escape Room, across from the Jamaican spot. Grab a bite from the market and bring it on in! Doors open at 7:00pm, event start at 7:15pm. Arrive early to get your seats, grab a drink, and settle in for science talks, trivia, prizes, and fun!
