Astronomy on Tap (Marie-Joëlle Gingras and Kiana Salehi)

Wednesday, February 12, 2025 8:00 pm - 10:00 pm EST (GMT -05:00)

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!

Did you know there’s a supermassive black hole lurking at the heart of our Milky Way? In fact, most galaxies have one! But these behemoths don’t just sit there — they shape entire galaxies.

Join us at Astronomy on Tap as researchers Marie-Joëlle Gingras (University of Waterloo) explores how these cosmic titans influence the Milky Way. Then, Kiana Salehi (Perimeter Institute) will dive into a weird mystery of black holes and tackle a burning question: do black holes have hair? (No, not the kind you’re thinking of — but don’t worry if you have no idea what that means. Come find out!)

Doors at 7:15pm | 8pm start | 19+

FREE admission, but please register and provide your group size to secure a table. Food and drink available -- come hungry!
