Astronomy enthusiasts,
We have a couple of astronomy outreach events over the next few weeks (including next week!), which are listed below. As always, these events are free and open to all, no reservations necessary. For more information about these events, including directions, please visit our Caltech Astro Outreach website. Notably, recordings from past lectures and presentations are featured on our YouTube channel.
Monday, July 14 @ 7:30PM
Astronomy on Tap
Why we think dark matter really exists and what we think it is - Isabel Sands
Finding Stars about to Die - Daichi Tsuna
Dog Haus Biergarten, Pasadena
Join us at 7:30PM PDT, Monday, July 14th for Astronomy on Tap hosted at the outdoor Dog Haus Biergarten in Old Town Pasadena. We’ll hear from Caltech Physics PhD Candidate Isabel Sands presenting: “Why we think dark matter really exists--and what we think it is,” and Caltech Postdoctoral Fellow Daichi Tsuna discussing: “Finding Stars about to Die.” We'll host two ~20 minute talks, Q&A, and then follow it up with interactive, astronomical pub trivia, live rock music, and guided stargazing with telescopes! Despite occurring at an outdoor bar/restaurant, these events are open to all ages and free to all, no reservations needed. Notably, we've just expanded to an additional television and speaker to ensure that everyone can easily view and hear the presentations despite the recent crowds.
Friday, July 25 @ 8:00PM

Stargazing Lecture
How to Build a Solar System - Adolfo Carvalho
Cahill Center for Astrophysics, Caltech Campus
YouTube Livestream Link
How did our Solar System form over the last 5 billion years? How does our Solar System differ from the thousands of other planetary systems we have discovered around other stars? Join us for a 30-minute lecture about planetary systems given by Caltech PhD candidate Adolfo Carvalho, followed by a panel Q&A consisting of several astrophysicists to answer your questions about astronomy and space science. Event will be held both in-person as well as live-streamed on YouTube Live.
"Since the discovery of 51 Pegasi b in 1995, we have found over 5,000 planets beyond our Solar System, orbiting other stars in our Milky Way galaxy. Most of these planetary systems are quite different from our own Solar System in their masses, sizes, and orbits. As we catalog these many different planetary systems, we can identify how planets form and change over time, which may help us understand the processes at play in our own Solar System. I will discuss how we currently believe our Solar System formed, from a humble cloud of dust in the Milky Way nearly 5 billion years ago into the Sun and planets we know and love today."
