Looking up: Do you need some pandemic-free space? Astronomy on Tap Charlottesville takes a break from life on Planet Earth with a star-studded discussion led by UVA astronomy experts Dr. Michael Küffmeier, Abby Waggoner, and Dr. Jeffrey Bennett. The “suds and space” virtual talk reaches for the sky by examining the formation of stars, the use of “dancing” molecules to observe objects in space, and a cosmic perspective on global warming. There will be trivia and prizes too, while you quaff your beverage of choice.
