Astronomy on Tap (Luna Zagorac and Rashaad Reid)

This month, we'll hear from two astronomers based in KW who are trying to understand dark matter. Luna Zagorac, from the Perimeter Institute, will talk about a range of hypothetical "astrophysical beasties" that could make up dark matter, and Rashaad Reid from the Waterloo Centre for Astrophysics will share how we can use the Sun as a laboratory to detect dark matter.

Astronomy on Tap (Kat Frazer and Liza Sazonova)

This month we'll hear from two astronomers from the University of Waterloo about the impact of eclipses on science, culture and history. Kat Frazer will share the role total eclipses played in proving Einstein's theory of general relativity, and Liza Sazonova will explore how eclipses have been viewed as dark omens throughout history.

Astronomy on Tap (Cam Morgan and Cam Lawlor-Forsyth)

This month we'll hear from two University of Waterloo astronomers, researching the evolution of galaxies. Cam Morgan will speak about how the cosmic neighbourhood of galaxies impacts their life cycles, and Cam Lawlor-Forsyth will share how astronomers are using super-computers to learn more about galaxies than ever before.

Astronomy on Tap (Ana Ennis and Luciano Combi)

This month we'll hear from two guest speakers: Ana Ennis, from the Waterloo Centre for Astrophysics, will speak about the death of stars like our Sun, and how these produce the stuff that we are made from! Perimeter Institute researcher Luciano Combi will then share how we can observe and model the deaths of stars, to understand the origin of heavy elements like gold.
