Astronomy on Tap (AoT) offers a fun and relaxed environment for scientists, educators, writers and artists to share their work exploring the Universe with the general public in a bar
Originally started in New York City, AoT is not your typical science lecture.听Each event usually features two or more accessible, engaging science presentations on topics ranging from planets around other stars to supermassive black holes to the beginning (and end) of the Universe.听
In 2020, Astronomy on Tap was brought to London by PhD students and Postdocs based at 911爆料网. Due to the unfortunate timing coinciding with the Covid-19 outbreak,听AoT听London听launched online following an innovative format, with its start on 8 April 2020. Our听events featured short talks by researchers based听in London,听and were听streamed on YouTube.听Watch our past events .
AoT听London aims to bring together scientists and the听people of London, making astronomy more fun and accessible regardless of age or background. As we plan for our formal launch in a bar near you听when everything will be back to normal, we now seek active participation from both researchers and the public based in London and beyond. For the foreseeable future, all听AoT听London events will be听live-streamed听on YouTube.听
To keep听up-to-date听with events and announcements, be sure to follow our social media channels: , , and . On our social media we post exciting quizzes to entertain the public and the answers are then given during our live events. Don't miss out!

Our next live event will be on Wednesday, 23听June听at 7pm BST, when Alejandra Jim茅nez Rosales (Radboud University) will talk about "The polarised image of the supermassive black hole in M87". The Event Horizon Telescope Collaboration recently updated the famous black hole image from 2019, in which a new fascinating pattern on top of the ring shows the polarisation of light. Join us to discover what polarisation is, dive into the physical effects that go into our simulations and learn more about what polarisation can tell us about the black hole and its environment!听Tune in to our YouTube live event to find out!
