Science on Tap – Devoured Worlds: Investigating Planetary Ingestion Events

October 19, 2023 @ 6:00 pm - 8:30 pm

$5 - $10
Milwaukee Public Museum

We’re exploring the space where science and culture intersect, and we’re doing it over drinks.

Grab a brew (or root-brew!) and meet us online OR onsite. This Carpenter lecture series features some of the best minds in science. From the sensation of being hugged by an octopus to quantum mechanics, Science on Tap looks to answer questions you never knew you had!

Sometimes, stars cannibalize the worlds orbiting them! In several billion years, our own inner rocky bodies will be consumed as our sun grows nearly 100 times in diameter. In this talk, learn about the search for cannibal stars in the Milky Way. Presented by speaker Melinda Soares-Furtado, NASA Hubble Postdoctoral Fellow, UW-Madison and Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

6 p.m. – 7:00 p.m. Doors open
7 p.m. – 8:30 p.m. Lecture
