Скачать или смотреть Lunar Excursions Aligned with the Major Standstill Moon - Ed Krupp - 11/18/2024

What is the lunar standstill and what is its significance in astronomy today? Join us at our next Astronomy on Tap for insights from Ed Krupp, Director of Griffith Observatory and expert in archeaoastronomy.

Astronomy on Tap is a global phenomenon where professional scientists give informal science talks in local bars with accompanying pub trivia and interactions with the public. The Los Angeles chapter of Astronomy on Tap is very active, with monthly events at the Dog Haus Biergarten in Pasadena. This recording is a bit noisy due to the logistics of operating a camera in a crowded bar, but it sufficiently captures the enthusiastic energy of the few hundred attendees each month. Join us for a future Astronomy on Tap night--free and open to all, no reservations necessary: https://outreach.astro.caltech.edu/aot
